I recently had problems with a FC6 --> F7 upgrade in which I
explicitly said 'do not install a boot loader' and it STILL screwed up
my grub. I don't know if it was just in the situation with a windows
load as a dual boot, because this laptop has that configuration at the
moment. I am wondering if Karl is running into the same issue that I
was running into. In my case I already had grub and did not want mine
messed with.

I think the first CD I made will allow me to reinstall grub
anywhere. I will try it going to my second hard drive which has none now.
