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 ...
