   You should be able to do better than that. You could have more than two OSs    
   by including Windows. Windows 98 would be fine. What are you really trying    
   to do?   
      
   If you just want to dual boot Ubuntu and Feather, I'd suggest that you    
   partition your drive first to set up the partitions for them, and a    
   partition for the swap file. Having done that, install Feather first, and    
   the Ubuntu. Ubuntu will handle the grub dual boot better. Or get a simple    
   boot manager eg GAG. But why not Windows as well?
