Yes, and Yes I could, I was just saying it would be a nice menu option so I
don't have to shell out of an install.

No, it isn't. And now, having re-installed again (after wiping the MBR), it
doesn't boot at all!

For the record, I wiped it with this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1

I am now going to do the whole drive, and start over.
