We have released a total of three betas.  See stories on your site:

http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=2764

We are interested in fixing bugs (applications crashing, koffice
applications not starting under GNOME), but UI changes at this point
aren't considered "bugs".

Installing grub onto the partition which contains either / or /boot
(if you have a /boot) should work, it works here in tests.  The
"upgrade" trick absolutely is not supported.  In order to write out a
bootloader configuration, the installer has to know which kernel
versions it has installed on the system.  Since your upgrade did not
install any kernels, the installer can't configure the bootloader for
them.

You say you choose to install grub on your /dev/hda2, and you did not
get a /boot/grub/grub.conf written?  Can you check to see if grub was
installed by running:

if dd if=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 | grep -a GRUB > /dev/null; then echo "GRUB signature present"; fi 

Is it possible that you choose not to install a bootloader during your
initial installation?  Is it possible for you to do another full
installation to verify that the bootloader was not written to your
disk?

It's really hard to keep things straight when you reply to multiple
messages with one.
