When you install Ubuntu, have it install Grub (that is actually the default). It will automatically add your other OSes. Specific to Ubuntu, I have not had any trouble with it's installation of Grub (in contrast to Debian, Fedora, and others who's Grub installations I always need to go back and fix). In any case, reinstalling or fixing grub is not a problem so long as your machine can boot from a LiveCD. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
