Question 2: is grub still supported, or is there something that *FORCES* you to use grub2?
GRUB < 2 isn't supported, but it can be made to work. I still use it on most of my Fedora and EL7 systems. Assuming that you already have GRUB installed, the steps are basically:
Tell anaconda not to install a bootloader
After installation, boot from a different OS or live CD and manually create a GRUB stanza for your new OS
Boot your new OS
Create /etc/sysconfig/kernel
ln -s /boot/grub/grub.conf /etc/
The last two steps enable grubby to update grub.conf when you install a new kernel.
Interesting... can I do that with the preupgrade from 6.5? And I *rarely* see grub updated....
