Hi -

Can i make a suggestion  regarding the troubleshooting section of the
manual :
----

Ubuntu failing to start after installing Windows

..
..
However, when you installed Windows, you
removed GRUB, thus removing the ability to choose which operating system
you’d like to use. You can easily restore GRUB—and regain the ability
to choose your operating system—by using the same CD you used to install
Ubuntu.

..

This section sounds almost accusatory - It isn't the users fault that
windows removed their existing bootloader - can I suggest a re-wording
like :

However, when you installed Windows, it replaced GRUB with it's own
bootloader, thus removing the ability to choose which operating system
you’d like to use. You can easily restore GRUB—and regain the ability
to choose your operating system—by using the same CD you used to install
Ubuntu.


Just a thought.
