unfortunately, even having done that, Anaconda/Grub2 will not create
a dual-boot setup because the default installs do not include
ntfs-3g or ntfsprogs. I've posted a recipe before for making
a grub2 dual-boot setup AFTER the installation, I can do it again
if anyone needs it, but otherwise won't clutter up the list with
another copy of it .
