    Replacing Karmic with Lucid on iMac 9.1

    I've got an iMac 9.1 perfectly triple booted with rEFIt with OSX, Windows 7 64x, and Ubuntu Karmic 64x. My Ubuntu side needs a refresh.

    I want to redo the Karmic partition with Lucid, but I'm afraid grub2 will mess up my perfect rEFIt configuration.

    I'm worried because when first doing this triple boot, I installed Karmic and rEFIt couldn't read the grub that it installed, so I installed Jaunty's grub and upgraded to Karmic. I guess it's a workaround...

    Now, I'm worried Lucid will mess up the rEFIt config.

    Couple of questions:
    1. Is a new install of Lucid going to mess up my rEFIt configuration?
    2. Is there a way to avoid rEFIt bugs?
    3. If a new Lucid install won't mess up rEFIt, do I simply install the grub bootloader inside the freshly installed Lucid partition?
    When helping other users, I will always suggest a GUI solution first.
