Public bug reported:
I have at home already Kubuntu 6.10 and 7.04 installed, each of them on their
own ext3 partition with shared ext3 "/home" partition.
I have the graphical grub at /boot/grub at Kubuntu 6.10 partition.
I tried to install Kubuntu 8.10 there, but from previous experience I
think it will either overwrite the bootloader completely, i.e. making
the grub from /boot of Kubuntu 8.10 partition (another one) active, or
when I check off the setting in "advanced" options of installer, it will
not touch the active grub at 6.10 partition at all, leaving me with
installed system without boot setup.
As I'm not grub guru, by editing the menu.lst by hand and adding the
partition/files of 8.10 I got into situation when booting up 8.10 brings
some early error message about vmlinuz file missing? (I didn't had time
to write down the error message, and it's not related to this wish
anyway).
So I would appreciate a simple way in installer to (while installing new
kubuntu at new partition) add the new Kubuntu into already existing grub
at different partition (which should be left intact in any other way,
just the /boot + /boot/grub files updated).
