Some people modify the Windows bootloader, so that *it* can be used to boot Linux. You *can* have the Linux bootloader set up to choose between booting Windows and Linux, *and* the Windows bootloader set up to choose which to boot. That allows you to use either to boot up, and can be handy if you accidentally pick the wrong one - you can just reverse the decision when the other's bootloader screen came up, not to mention handy for if you get a glitch that modifies your usual way of booting up. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
