Can't confirm such issues. F18 hasn't stopped me from multi-booting (although the primary bootloader is from F19 Rawhide meanwhile). F18 has recognized other installations, it has added them to the boot menu, and where package "os-prober" doesn't do what I like, I've added chain-loading entries to /etc/grub.d/40_custom. -- Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) - Linux 3.7.2-204.fc18.x86_64 loadavg: 0.10 0.14 0.27 -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
