The machine was set up with the windows 7 install on half of the disk, and is already set up with the work-related commercial apps (visio, ip comm, borland, etc) that I can't get away from, so I am where I am at the moment as far as the window 7 section of this dual-boot plan is concerned. From where I sit, with (at least) three PRs already in for sysinstall's broken boot manager config, and with one going back as far as 2005, its not looking likely that anyone is interested in fixing this problem anytime soon.
