It will detect you OS and allow you to select which OS to boot. the grub2 os-prober is much better and, with the complexity of configuring grub2, most people go with the defaults. The os prober is utterly worthless. It hard codes the paths to the kernels installed in the other OS which existed at the time you installed that instance of grub2. If you boot the other OS and get a kernel update, the OS that was installed last (and now owns the MBR) knows nothing about the new kernel unless I manually run grub2-mkconfig again after booting back into that kernel. That is not better or simpler. If I have a single stand alone grub partition that chain loads everything else, then each of the other kernels can do their updates and manage their own boot loader and everyone is happily independent. (Or was till GRUB2 decided it was too good to be chainloaded in the ordinary way and must use the new and improved multiboot instead). -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
