I fell into a trap yesterday; I downloaded and installed Chakra in a spare partition (hda7) for a quick look at it and it destroyed my GRUB bootloader, failing to recognise Siduction and offering only Chakra at boot. I tried unsuccessfully to add Siduction to GRUB, but couldn't. I wanted to keep my faithful, updated and reconfigured Siduction on hda1, so I reformatted the Chakra partition (hda7) and installed a recent Siduction release in its place. All went well until the reboot, when GRUB failed to appear at all.
Finally, I reformatted hda7 yet again and installed Toorox in it. Lo and behold, the problem was solved and GRUB appeared with Siduction as first choice and Toorox at the bottom of the list, giving me a functioning dual boot.
Additional facts: I found Chakra clunky and it wouldn't install my nVidia driver, although it was downloaded OK. Toorox had much the same problem and their clock programme crashed every time I tried to set my time zone. I've used Siduction since the beginning of time and haven't yet seen anything better (loud clapping for the devs).
