Title:
  multiple ubuntu boots 7.10 installation

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  i installed 7.10 in a new partition on a laptop with 7.04 already
  installed. now i cannot boot 7.04 anymore....

  ubuntu should include automatically the previous boots (as it does
  with windows!).

  i use the following manual procedure, which could be automated as
  follows:

  do not format/overwrite /boot if there is already the files necessary for booting an ubuntu,
  but insert there the necessary new images and edit the grub menu.

  do not reformat the partition in which the root goes (to avoid
  creating a new uuid, which would then have to go into the fstab of the
  previous installation - or provide a tool to fix an fstab
  automatically when booting)

  --
  it is a good feeling to know that one has a second working ubuntu installation ... 
  now i start experimenting with 7.10
