It's more than enough with one bootloader, the few times I have more than one
Linux installed, I have the same /boot, that way I have one place for grub
files and kernels (of course some of mine run different bootlaoders like
slilo, bootcreator, depending on the architecture).

Doubtful.

Since not everyone reads both, I thought I would post in both places

Now for the update.

Since I got Xubuntu up and running, kinda sorta. I thought I would give
Kubuntu a try. The LiveCD loaded with the above restraints in "F6"
and "F4" with no problem. I told it to install and the installer looks and
works better in Kubuntu, When the partitioner popped up it looked rather
staight forward. Set up the HD and started the install. I had the
internet connection up and running but when the install got to the "apt"
configuration the install crashed - twice.

I am now in the process of reinstalling PCLinuxOS 2009.1 and will be up in a
few minutes.

So far, and this goes back over several releasses, Ubuntu has the money and
the name, but not the "goods." You know, kinda like another OS company.

If you have to post to more than one group, make a cross post, don't use
follow-up (if you must, you state that in our post), this prevents people to
have to answer the same question as they don't see what someone else has
replied and allows users of both newsgroups to follow the threat without
loosing information.
