Comments/Problems:
- Grub installation detected the two other operating
systems (Kubuntu 8.04 on IDE and Win7beta on SATA)
but did not include them in the grub menu (looks
like bug #585715)
- although Grub legacy already existed on both disks,
Grub2 was installed. I believe it should have kept
Grub1?
- although Squeeze was installed on the SATA disk, Grub2
was installed on the IDE disk leaving the other OSes
at first unbootable. Fortunately, I know how to install
Grub1 manually ;-)
Squeeze itself, installed graphically with alternate desktop
LXDE, works perfectly. Thanks for the good job!
