Also slightly off topic, I am currently using legacy grub in Lucid 10.04
because, when I installed Lucid from the alternate install cd it said
that grub2 was beta and should not be installed on a production system
(hence I haven't) and, with the beta of grub2 in Karmic it would not
allow the grub boot blocks to be installed to a partition, it would only
allow the installation to the MBR. Installing to the MBR is useless to
me as I am using something else as a boot manager, plus for other linux
o/s's that don't use grub2 Ubuntu's grub2 generated invalid partition
references for those o/s's. Have these issues been fixed yet?

regards,
Steve
