<Jordan_U> The situation with erry in #ubuntu right now is a train wreck, he's not coherent and too many people are trying to help rhonda96@example.net.
<bazhang> he/she refuses to listen or read
<bazhang> he/she wants a single command to fix everything, which is not the way grub2 works
<jussi> makes it hard. tried PM?
<Jordan_U> Yes, I couldn't get her to answer questions and she was still getting input from the channel. ikonia seems to have dealt with the problem well though.
<bazhang> she has done that over the years now

<Jordan_U> I forsee a trainwreck when Putragis finishes downloading the 10.04 iso and realizes that he has no easy way to make a bootable USB drive from it.
<Jordan_U> People will recommend unetbootin, not realizing that he's working from an Ubuntu 5.10 LiveCD that surely can't run unetbootin, confusing him more... I wish I could prevent it.
<jussi> Jordan_U: yeah, could be an issue.
 * jussi scratches head trying to figure out how to fix that. 
<Jordan_U> He could dd Super GRUB2 Disk to the USB drive, since that would give him a modern grub that could boot an Ubuntu iso without requiring modern tools. But that would overwrite the partition table on the flash drive, which is probably where he's downloaded the Ubuntu iso.

<Jordan_U> michaelxq left before I could finish giving him instructions, unfortunatlye right now while he can still boot into Ubuntu and windows (with his external plugged in) he still can't boot windows without the external plugged in (which is what he originally came for)...
<Jordan_U> And when he upgrades Ubuntu booting from the internal will eventually start to fail.
<Jordan_U> If michaelxq comes back could someone tell him that he needs to run "sudo apt-get install mbr" then "sudo install-mbr /dev/sda" to get windows booting from his internal hard drive? (he'll have to select his external in the BIOS to boot Ubuntu).
