GRUB partition
So I've been toying with different distributions and OS's, and have on several occasions deleted the OS handling my GRUB. I've read that GRUB is it's own mini-OS, so can I just stick it on it's own partition and control it through another OS? And if so, how would I go about doing this?
Thanks,
David

Best way is, keep atleast one Linux distro ( pick any ) and use its GRUB for multibooting. Install GRUB if other distros in Boot Sector of their root partition and chainload code in grub.conf ( menu.lst ) file of main distro.
You can create separate /boot partition too but above method is easier than that.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

I've read an article on another linuxdedicated site about creating a partition especially for Grub:
Making a Dedicated Grub Partition
Did not try it myself.
