Same error happened to me. It seems that repository has no Ubuntu Maverick files, so you can’t use it. Maybe it’ll come it the future, or maybe you can try Lucid Lynx. I didn’t, but maybe it works

Thanks! Yes, its a grub replacement. (Grub gets replaced in the mbr of the disk you are installing to, although it is still left on your system, so you can actually put it back on after by running “sudo grub-install /dev/sda (or whatever device your hdd is)”.

To reposition the boot items (in burg or in grub) edit the burg.cfg or grub.cfg file. You can identify the entry you want to move because they are usually separated by comments. If you are you using nano to edit, you can use ctrl-K and ctrl-u to cut and paste the entries where you want them. If you are using gedit or something graphical its even easier.

Of course it goes without saying, be careful trying this on a system that is important until you figure it all out. If you do end up fouling things up, you can probably fix it with a ubuntu live disk.

nice one mate!

question; its a grub replacement? is that required for the repositioning of the boot items (obviously the extra options; res stuff, are)? I’ve been wanting to do that (reposition the items) for ages, but couldn’t find out how… :-S
