[Cialug] Ubuntu 12.10 - Grub editor

[David Champion]

I would have a better attitude if it worked. Google for "ubuntu 12.10 dual
boot". You will find many people struggling with this. It doesn't work -
the default behavior of the Ubuntu 12.10 installer is to break the Windows
boot.

Every other Linux distro I've used recently lets you dual boot.

As for the grub editor... if they're trying to make this a distro for
everyone, why the hell wouldn't there be a grub editor instead of making
people edit cfg files with vi? Other distros have had a method of editing
the boot loader, and I recall being able to do it in Ubuntu a few years ago.

For instance - if you want to change the boot order, so another OS boots by
default... why can't you do this with a simple gui tool?
