i was installing ubuntu 8.04 and i encountered the "grub-install hd0 error" at 94 % while installing.
To make things simple i quickly referred this forum for the solution and the solution it gave

" Create a swap space of less than 1 GB" and i did the same thing and the problem was solved

Please can the gurus explain me why after creating the swap space ( less than 1 GB) the ""grub-install hd0 error" problem doesn't exists ??

Waiting for all your expert comments ...so that this vast ocean of linux gets clear to me
