=A9crit :
"Installing f=
or i386-pc platform=2E
Installation finished=2E No error reported=2E"
After reboot:
  $ uname -a
Linux komputilo 4=2E20=2E3-gnu #1 SMP=
 1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The i386 is technically incorrect according tohttps://en=2Ewi=
kipedia=2Eorg/wiki/Intel_80386 and
https://en=2Ewikipedia=2Eorg/wiki/X86-64

I t=
hink we should drop the line and keep "Installation finished=2E No
error=
 reported=2E"

 Hi, this message is actually from grub-i=
nstall and is perfectly
 correct: it means it's intalling in legacy (bio=
s) mode=2E "No error
 reported" is also from grub and is very confusing=
=E2=80=A6

Maybe we should

1) prefix messages fro=
m other tools with the name of the tool, and
2) hide these tool messages=
 by default behind descriptive messages like
=E2=80=9Cinstalling bootloa=
der=E2=80=9D

What do you think?
