    I have a CD-Rom I made with the downloaded Hardy Beta. I loaded it 
and it worked fine. Today I tried to load it to /dev/sda6 and I got it 
to start loading. It proceeded as if it was happy but instead of asking 
about grub setup it went back to the CD. I can mount /dev/sda6 to my 
working 7.10 and it is a almost a complete load but when I looked at 
boot there was no grub directory. This happened 3 times.
