Grub & other problems


Hi All,
Forgive me for cross-posting (I've just put this on ubuntuforums) but thought I'd try a second opinion.
I Just installed Ub5.04 am am quite impressed so far, however I'm still a bit of a linux novice and have noticed a problem when booting. I told Grub to install on the MBR and when booting I get a logical list of the OS, first Ubuntu, then Fedora Core3 and XP.
XP seems to boot OK but when I try Fedora it comes up with many 'fatal errors' and Ubuntu seems to 'take over' in it's place....any ideas?

Another question, I've configured my dial-up modem thru the Gnome networking configuration utility (activate/deactivate) but I think there must be an easier way,
(...and why is my connection so slow?...it's much faster with fc3!)

Also I would like to mount my NTFS partitions (as many other distros seem able to do)

Any assistance will be gratefully received, look forward to hearing from you,

Tom

Okay. Automounting NTFS:

If you can mount the Fedora partition, go to the /boot/grub/menu.lst there and go to Ubuntu's /boot/grub/menu.lst. Make sure the parameters in Ubuntu's menu.lst for Fedora match Fedora's own.
