I had set up a dual box before with the previous version of Ubuntu, then 
I was able to edit things so that FC is the default boot.  This time 
even removing the Ubuntu partition still does nor resolve the problem. 
The Fedora install process allows control over the boot configuration 
and either I missed it or the control does not exist in Ubuntu.  I can 
live with the problem for a couple of weeks or so until I install Fedora 
7 but I would like to be able to find the file that needs to be edited 
to send the boot process to the fedora gtub.conf file.
