I solved it. I did 'grub-install /dev/sdb' and it worked. For some reason I thought that if you had two linuxes on the same drive, grub could not be changed from one to the other except when an update which included grub was done. But I just went and did it and it worked fine.

I love that Lite highlights the last system booted. Very intelligent. Especially if you're updating windows and walk away for a minute. no problem, windows will boot and finish the update, since it was the last system booted. I don't know why all grubs don't do this.

I have both Lite an Kubuntu on same drive. Kubuntu currently owns Grub. I want Lite's grub, because it (very intelligently) remembers the last system that was used, which is usually Lite. I'm probably going to jettisoning Kubuntu eventually, once I figure out how to do so safely (so Lite still boots). Until then, I have to choose Lite every time I boot, as Kubuntu is always the default in its version of grub.

Thanks,

Mike
