Winton,

This reference explains HOW-TO use floppies for booting a selected OS from
among several and also how to put all the desired boot options on the hard
disk.

You will be able to manage boot selection of Edubuntu or Ubuntu or other OSs
on a single hard disk.

HOW-TO use GRUBB to select/boot the desired OS when you have several OSs on
one hard disk.
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4622

Note the several boots of Debian and other OSs at this reference. If the
several boot options for Debian were counted separately, if would be fair to
say this shows NINE boot options on two disks -- all managed by GRUBB.
