[Bug 1303859] Re: install ontop of existing install fails to at grub

[Philip Fitzsimons]

thanks for the feedback - I accept what you are saying - however...
this only happens when I install from a live cd directly. If I "try out"
first and then install from the booted live image I don't get this error.

Given this is my first attempt at ubuntu I will probably have to reinstall
multiple times - I'll update this thread if I can create repeatable steps.
otherwise its just me ;-)
