That's my problem too ... If I want a multiboot system, with just ONE bootloader, eg grub, I do NOT want a distro install mechanism messing about with the other distros. ESPECIALLY if (I'm looking at you, SUSE) you mess it up so YOU can't boot, and neither can anything else! (And no,I don't expect gentoo to get it right, either.) Cheers, Wol
