Hi!

2013/1/25 Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx>
I'll see if a different subject, devoid of anything but the question, brings a response. When I installed FC18 on a drive with FC17 and XP the installer didn't offer an option to boot those OS as alternatives.

Is this a bug or by design.

I installed F18 in a Macbook Pro with Mac OS X in another partition and Mac OS X shows up in Grub.

I am not sure if it is the task of the installer to set up booting other operating systems. It is Grub that enables that. Grub2 looks for other operating systems when updating its config and it should add them to the menu "automagically".

To update Grub's config I run: 

# grub2-mkconfig /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 

(Note: I use Grub2 and BIOS, configuration for EFI is different)

Greetings,
