[svlug] Bootloader install question

[Deirdre Saoirse]

If you ever have two diffferent distros with two diffferent / partitions,
doing other than on the first sector of the boot partition will give you
headaches.

A friend of mine has two different distros on one drive with only shared
/home directories.
