I've got a dual-boot setup with Ubuntu Karmic and Windows 7. Can I just install Lucid over Karmic and retain the dual-boot? The crux of the matter is whether grub2 will detect and list win7 during the fresh install, even though Karmic was there. I don't like or trust upgrades, which is why I ask. Plus I have an encrypted /home I don't care to keep encrypted, and I want to wipe it clean (unless anyone knows how to decrypt it permanently).
Also, is there any good reason to give /boot it's own partition, and can I move to that configuration without destroying my setup? I know how to use gparted already to resize and add partitions, but I've never manipulated grub2 in that manner.
