Goh,

Won't this cause Grub to be reinstalled and send me back to square 1? 
After all, the Ubuntu/Grub installer didn't detect Windows ME the first
two times.  Perhaps my head is still stuck in Grub 1, but I would think
that adding a line to the config file would be the way to go.  Of course
I have no idea what to add, but...

The other question I have is how is the Ubuntu 11.04 boot loader (hope
that is the right term) supposed to look.  All of the ones I have seen
have a nice background image, use color, etc.

Dave,
