I just checked again and os-prober is intalled on my system. I am not sure why I missed this earlier. Curiously though, update-grub is now detecting Fedora 13! It was not doing so last night. And my bash history shows that I did not install os-prober between then and now. I check my aptitude log and it shows that os-prober was on HOLD three days ago (I supposed when I did the initial installation). After that installation, the trunk kernel and grub in Testing were giving problems so I pulled those from Unstable. Perhaps this messed up os-prober somehow. Today I was messing around with scim. Last night I did a full-upgrade. And now I notice that F13 is being detected by update-grub. I wish I would tell what I changed. So even though the problem is solved, but I am at a loss to explain what did it. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
