Ok The problem is - that when i install the second linux os (8.10) at one stage in the installation it has where to install the grub , by default it shows hdo(0), this is the same place where 7.10 (the older existing linux has its boot) so i need to select the some other hdo partition - the one where the new os will put its boot. Later i need to edit the original grub (which should also be on the MBR) - the only problem i have is how do i know which hdo(x) partition i need to put the second grub on. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
