Notice the similarity of Ubuntu and Win stanzas generated by anaconda.
Well, this will never do.  Ubuntu's entry ought to be more like FC,
the other linux that dwells on your HD.  Something like ...

  title Ubuntu
  root (hd0,6)
  kernel (copy this from menu.lst kernel line in Ubuntu)
  initrd (also from Ubuntu's menu.lst)

Anaconda = snake ... not trustworthy.

You've got cobras over there?
