Thanks, Martyn, I sort of suspected that would be the case. Thing I'll
stick to the old fashioned way for now, as I'm sure to forget where I
install Grub to. :)

Yeh, this is largely what I do for most things, like testing how
something's going to work, or for the few thing I need to use Windaz
for, but the reason I've currently gone with installing the lightweight
option alongside as a standalone dualboot is because I'm increasingly
finding myself out at a site and don't want to wait for Ubuntu to load
everything it needs so that I can use just a tiny amount of it.
If I had a work desktop to play with as well it would make the situation
considerably easier, as I could do away with the heavier stuff on the
laptop altogether but, for now, I'm just stuck experimenting. :)
Thanks again,
Dave
