You'd think. I've done many installs, including several dual-boot installs, and have yet to destroy a system. I did once wipe a computer's MBR by deciding to make it a pure Windows system and remove Debian. Nevertheless, I get paranoid. Now that I think about it, I suppose that installing Kubuntu probably won't touch the MBR at all, just alter GRUB.
