Should I reply to the Bug-adress or to you Colin? I'll do both this time. In Kubuntu AMD64 Tribe 4 Alternate I choose "Go back" when GRUB asks where I should put the boot-loader. I then choose "Install LILO". Everything works OK. In Tribe 5, GRUB gets installed automatically, and I get the choice to "Go back" at installation-end. But then the CD is unmounted and ejected, so if I go back an choose LILO then the installer wont find the packages needed and hangs on 50%. I then added "priority=low" when I booted the installer-CD and then I can install LILO OK. I'm using 1 NTFS-partition, 1 EXT3 as / and 1 SWAP The problem with GRUB seems to be that my very new nVidia 8600GT is not supported in the framebuffer-stuff (?) that GRUB uses when it boots. LILO boots in console-mode and everything works out OK. The machine is not in production so I can reformat and install and try out the stuff you want me to. I'll be glad to help.
