Hi!

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,


Try it this way:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Thanks I'll try that and see if it finds the other OS on the drive.

It didn't find either other OS, and copying stanzas from the fc17 grub2 didn't work, either.
