| I hope you feel better having vented. The fact that thousands have
installed and used the distro without problems should not get in your
way. Obviously they are not as discriminating as you are. And the fact
that this newsgroup is known for helping people solve problems should
also not get in your way. Good luck.
PS, the answer is --
fdisk /MBR
from a Windows installation.

I notice many of you couldn't resist replying to thios post.
