+I use the gag boot manager in the mbr, and each linux install
+has it's own boot loader in it's / partition.
+
+The reason I do it this way, is that I tend to overwrite
+existing installations, with each install.
+
+If another install has a uuid reference to the overwritten
+install, that other install have problems during boot,
+when it can't find the overwritten uuid, even though none
+of it's filesystems have been altered.
+
+Using a single bootloader, with multiple linux installations,
+with multiple kernels in each, just gets too messy.
+
+Keeping each linux install separate is safer and easier to
+maintain.
+
