My bad, most likely; the link is plymouth. As of now, iiuc, rhgb is already gone from F10, replaced by plymouth; and it's plymouth that's linked in some way. It occurs to me just now to try "yum remove plymouth" and then "yum install mkinitrd"; I may do that. > There are references to it in Makefiles for building new kernels.

The real answer, of course, is the one that Rahul Sundaram posted; and it mentions that there will be a way to get to grub. In fact, iiuc, grub *will* appear automatically on machines with multiple hard drives, on the theory that those of us who have them mostly run more than one OS. (I certainly do, just because there are a couple things not yet user-friendly enough in linux, nor completely functional under wine. I've also been known to try Ubuntu, CentOS, and others.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 2, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Opera 9, Firefox 2 & 3 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
