<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I very much agree with idea #1957 I told the Ubuntu
Installer NOT to over write the mbr. (Or so I thought) but it did it
anyway. I HATE that. This is windows like behavior where widows does what it
wants instead of what you tell it to do. I wanted it to install the boot loader
to a floppy so I could use the windows boot loader to load Linux. I have not
been able to get Ubuntu to boot from a floppy. Can any one tell me how? I have
been able to do this with other Linux's but not Ubuntu. I can't but feel sorry
for all the inexperienced windows users who wanted to try Linux, installed
Ubuntu and had their windows mbr overwritten by the Ubuntu Installer and lost
access to their windows installation. And what bothers me most is you
don't even tell them how to restore the windows mbr. How many people end up
having to reinstalling windows and losing much data thanks to the Ubuntu
Installer? You discourage people from trying Linux when you destroy their
windows installation. The Ubuntu installer should NEVER over write the mbr
without permission. The Ubuntu Installer is not easier when it gives you no
install options just stupider so please fix this.</FONT></DIV>
