Yes, i meant /, not /root
One of the biggest points of confusion for newbies regarding the
filesystem (the root partition being /)
i'll try the grub-install /dev/hda later when i have
time. i'll let you know if it worked.
so if that does allow me to boot into linux, and i
don't need a /boot partition, can i just delete that
partition?
No, not unless you get the files that are in the /boot partition and put
them in place first. If you reinstall, you can delete all of your
partitions, and just create the / and swap partitions (/home is also
valuable if you want to upgrade or reinstall and need some space to put
things to be saved).
