I recommend you just save your ubuntu menu.lst to a USB.. then install SXDE.. and let it overwrite the MBR with its own. Once you've booted into SXDE.. just add the relevent entries to the solaris grub's menu.lst file. If you've installed ubuntu AFTER solaris.. just boot into belenix or indiana live cd and use the installgrub command to get back the solaris grub. Anil
