    Well I decided to do it myself and with some help, to wit, if you 
can click on details do so. Here is what I did to this point.

I know the non-working Ubuntu is at (hd0,7). So I put the cd-rom in and 
rebooted. It started the cd and Ubuntu came up in it's cd-rom mode. It 
takes care of Nvidia very well!

    So I then said to install. I watched close and when it wanted to 
make a partition I said Manual. It showed me all the existing stuff and 
there was (hd0,7) so I told it to formate and put it there.

    Later it wanted a name which I gave it and password. Then below that 
it had a tab saying "Details" so I clicked that. Up came a panel saying 
it was going to install Grub in (hd0). I erased that and put in (hd0,7) 
and it took off and loaded a bunch of stuff off the internet and then 
wanted to reboot. Did that and here I am back on F8 without doing a thing.

    I will put in the F8 grub.conf a chainload for Umbutu and that will 
be that. Get used again to apt-get ...
