DUAL BOOT -- 6.10/7.04 Herd 4?

[Myles Braithwaite]

It is totally possible to dual boot anything. You should look into grub
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto>.  All you had to do is
boot into 7.04 and edit the grub configure file to show that there is
another bootable partition. If you need some more help I will be on
#ubuntu-ca.

Is there a GUI for editing grub?
