Karl, this is nonsense, /boot/grub/ is no partition and it looks

his drive and he can expect that the installer will manage all this

It does on Red Hat but not sure on Ubuntu. He was not clear how he
got the the many partitions and the way it is working sounds like he
needs to edit /etc/fstab.

The partitions were set up with "manual" on ubuntu's ubiquity(?)
partitioner. If it doesn't work that way in ubuntu I assume others
that tried to partition manually would have the same trouble...anyone?
The same goes for /etc/fstab.
