He uses Forte Agent, which is *not* free and only runs on Windows, it
has *no* native Linux version. If he is not paying for it, then he is a
thief as well as an idiot... :-)

But virtualbox does run under windows. If he installs Linux there, it
won't touch his boot loader. Problem solved. Well, technical problem
anyway. Social skills are still apparently an alpha release...

When did that change? On this computer, grub isn't on the first partition
and it works just fine. In fact, I've never put either grub or lilo on the
first partition.

I would see the claim as a warning if it came from a reliable source.

Didn't su madre la puta teach you that "media" is plural?

Listen, you clueless retard with delusions of adequacy, the people whom
you are gratuitously insulting have nothing to do with your alleged
problem. Which part of "this is not Novell" don't you understand?

> So WHY the omission during the upgrade choice.

They have special code to test for lusers and you hit the jackpot.

That's too bad, tonto, because on my machine they are not being toggled
around in *your* desirable way.

No, actually you are exhibiting several behaviors that are well ahead of
that.

1. Confusing an alt.* news group with a vendor support news group

2. Making dunderheaded assumptions about your audience, most of whom
you know nothing about.

3. Attempting to rank real or imagined behavior against other
behaviors that you don't have a clue about. I suspect that there
are dozens of readers here who have seen software atrocities
beyond your worst imaginings.
