Dual Boot Vista and Kubuntu

[Farid Ansari]

There is no problem with dual boot of Vista and Kubuntu.
While installing Kubuntu its bootloader detects Vista and gives the option
of what you want to boot at startup.
I have dual boot of Kubuntu and Vista as well as Kubuntu and XP on seperate
machines and they work fine.
Cheers
