Hello! Actually, Debian, which is what Ubuntu is based on, has been making use of the GRUB boot loader since it became widespread. I believe they consider it to be the default one. There are instructions someplace for having a dual boot system that works with both Linux and Windows, however the more recent mechanism behind how Windows starts up isn't happy with something else cohabitating on the disk drive. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway." _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
