PCLinuxOS grub into / partition?
Can I set PCLinuxOS to install grub into my / partition on install? I have Win 7 Ultimate and ZorinOS dual booting now. Zorin let me install it's grub2 into the / partition, but I want to replace Zorin with PCLOS> Anyone know if it's possible?

Yes. It's possible. Just install again to root partition.

Thank you, veerain. Found it after 2 days searching. A bit obscure in PCLOS, and I have had PCLOS in the past as dual boot, but 7 kept mucking it up. Thanks again!

I made a Vista/PCLOS dual-boot using Vista boot manager just a few weeks back.
I found nothing obscured there. You just select "Custom Disk Partitioning" and after
setting those, it asks where to put the boot loader, and which boot loader.
