Hello,
I have been running Karmic 9.10 on my laptop with a dual boot with Windows 7. The lap top has 1 ssd and 2 hd's. Karmic is on one of the std drives and win7 is on the ssd. This has been running flawless for over a year.
I have been contemplating upgrading to Lucid but have not gotten up the gut's to do it. I have spent the last day reading posts on these forums but still am unsure. I am most worried about the grub updating and messing things up. I am not sure where the grub is to installed.
I have also read in a tutorial that it is best to un-install all 3rd party apps
Any tips on doing this upgrade would be appreciated thanks Len
Here is my boot script.
