I installed to sda12 from the kubuntu alternate karmicRC CD, installed mc, then did apt-get update;apt-get upgrade. The upgrade installed roughly 160 packages. Most of the time spent doing that upgrade, an absurd length, was displaying messages about finding other distributions on other partitions.
Why is it that when: 1-Neither Grub nor Lilo is installed to MBR (MBR contains generic boot code) 2-Active partition on first disk is type 0x0A (IBM Boot Manager) 3-*buntu / is installed to a logical partition the installation configurator and apt-get upgrade find it necessary to configure Grub to boot anything other than the *buntu version it is installing or upgrading? My /boot/grub/grub.cfg file is an insane 19,985 bytes! http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/grub-karmic-gx150.cfg BTW is my post-upgrade version. Neither apparently get used. Booting from IBM BM to the Kubuntu sda12 / partition just gives a Grub prompt. To actually boot Kubuntu I have to set root, kernel and initrd from the Grub prompt each time. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God. . . . 2nd U.S. President, John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.
