At the beginning of the article you mentioned that the installer feels that it has to overwrite the old system. Actually I did not experience anything like that. When I installed a new system (not from cooker, though) I just made a new root partition, mounted the old /home and /usr/local and the windoze partitions + the old linux root partition under /mnt/oldlinux. After that I let the installer to copy everything to the new root partition, and did not install bootloader (you can actually make a bootdisk, but you do not even have to). Then from the old system, just edit menu.lst, put a new title and point it to the appropriate new root and boot partition (which was the same in my case). And you can boot the new system from the grub, which was installed when you put the old system there...
