Add flag to ignore install GRUB step

[zoeleu]

It hangs for me and many people, yes it's due to bad performance but I have UEFI, I don't need this!

A flag to disable this, or a checkbox in the GUI would be super appreciated.

@WaxyMocha any progress?

I worked around this by doing sudo killall grub-install when it hung. Immediately I got a 'success' message.

I am installing on recent hardware, and the machine booted off the resulting usb thumbdrive first try.

hth, thanks for all your effort here, with recent win 10 home isos having huge .wim files inside correctly creating a bootable usb stick is nontrivial.

Stay rad.

More context for onlookers: in previous shell-based WoeUSB, there was the same issue, and it seemed to be due to the NTFS-3G package:

It seems that distributions like Ubuntu ship with a very old release of the NTFS-3G driver. Anecdotally, it doesn't seem to hang when using the latest NTFS-3G release:

Hope this is helpful to anyone else out there. Update your NTFS-3G. :)
