Hi, i had ubuntu 10.04 on this computer. It has really crummy hardware, so i installed UNR and asked it to partition the drive (first partition option in installer). Now, instead of taking me to a screen where i can choose which OS(ubuntu 10.04 or UNR) i want when i start up it just starts up in UNR every time and i cant figure out how to switch to the other OS.

I am sure that it partitioned because when i browse the HDD, all of the filesystem from 10.04 is there in addition to the UNR filesystem.

this is probably some dumb question and i am just doing something wrong but did anyone else have this problem?

so i figured it out (you hold shift at startup) but is that the only way? it seems kinda dumb. is there any way for it to ask me everytime i startup without having to hold the shift key?
