[ubuntu-us-nc] Grub2 Difficulties

[Dick Smith]

Thanks, guys.  I'm going to save these messages!  Maybe it'll refresh my
mind the next time.  Seriously though, I think it's time to upgrade so I'll
get on that first.

And, the burn I have is from a live cd that was shipped with Ubuntu User
magazine last year sometime.
