  Installing GRUB2 where, Barry? 
(MBR or  Root partition?)

If - as I did with Ubuntu 12.01 - GRUB2 goes into the MBR, then I can
no longer boot from its menu into a GRUB Legacy install, a I said
earlier (despite the GRUB2 boot menu purporting to do so).

&gt;<i> Once it's installed read /usr/share/doc/grub2/README.Mageia to find how to

</I>&gt;<i> from your existing legacy grub.
</I>
  As I said earlier, I already know how to do that.
What I still don't know (and still no one has described!)  is how to get
a GRUB2 boot menu to successfullly boot a GRUB Legacy install.
