Thanks (and thanks, too, to Tru, which I forgot to say in my previous response).

That's interesting and sort of what I was looking for ... but I'm a wee bit concerned (being an old lilo guy and not very familiar with grub yet) that in fact all those references to /boot/initrd.* and /boot/vmlinuz* really are loading the same instances from the initial install, and that I'd be in trouble when the installs are not both the same linux distribution and version. Can anyone allay my worries?
