Idiots. Toby: M$ is completely unaware that any other OS exists. Or, they will never admit to that. However, 1 or 2 days ago, I saw a listing for a temporary job assignment in Redmond, WA, with "The Software Giant", for someone to work with a team of people who are the only ones there who work with Linux. They are the "Linux experts" in that place. I assume it is for M$, but not positive about that. :-) There is a web page on the CentOS Wiki about how to reinstall GRUB, if it gets trashed or is overridden when installing another OS. Lanny
