I think that if Ubuntu is being installed in separate partitions from existing Linux partitions, one reasonable approach would be to install GRUB in the new partitions, and somehow inform the user that one should set up chainloading from the original.
If some other OS's boot loader is in the MBR, then the situation gets pretty murky! - The commonest though is Windows XP or some other NT- family Windows, in which case it would be good to produce the appropriate boot record file to be put in C:\ and executed from the BOOT.INI file, and store that in a known place. This can be a bit tricky, as the NTFS volume may not be writeable. -- Thank you for overwriting my bootloader https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239912 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
