[LUAU] boot loaders and XP

[jroby]

I just put up Novell-Susse on a laptop that came with XP..it 
automatically installed grub and works just fine.I did have to edit grub 
files to make XP the default as the user wished that.All I gave the 
install was free space at the end of the drive,I note it created a swap 
and file partition,but all in that
free space.
