Hi I use a separate boot partition which all distribution's use. To keep it tidy I have sub-directories within.. Thus /boot/fedora /boot/Ubuntu /boot/debian etc... Grub offers great flexibility like this because within any environment you can manipulate the /boot/grub/menu.lst. But be ware that some installers but a /boot/grub/grub.comf so when changes are made in menu.lst they are not evoked.
Oh ok. Is this easy to set up? Or is it hard with windows taking the first part of the disk?
Then you obviously need to tell grub where the kernel is located that you wish to load.
Yes.
I've had lots of problems with grub and don't really like it. But I use it because of this flexibility. It is common to use the first partition as the boot partition. Unless Windows is present as it's simpler to let Windows have it's way and occupy the first sectors of the disk. I've given 500Mb for the boot partition.
OK, since I have windows should I leave it alone?
Don't reinstall a boot loader if one is running correctly. It can cause real problems.
Ok then.
