[svlug] Multiboot (k)ubuntu

[Larry Colen]

My desktop box is nominally multiboot with fedora, doze, kubuntu etc. 

It currently theoretically has kubuntu 6, but grub is fubar and it
won't boot into k6. I'd like to install 7.10, but when I've tried to
install kubuntu as a multiboot system, it'll play nice with windows,
but tries to wipe out fedora.

How do I go about installing kubuntu 7.10 on the system so that it
lets windows be on sda1, fedora root on sda7, it puts it's own root on
sda6. I think that I want all the linuxes to share /boot and
/boot/grub but that may take a bit of post installation editing. 

FWIW, the drive layout under FC6 is:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7              29G  4.9G   23G  18% /
