As does Ubuntu. But os-prober is used to find non-Linux installations. There are other scripts to detect Linux and Xen installs. All of these are configurable, which is one of the strengths of GRUB2, it is not a Linux bootloader, it is more universal and adapts itself well to the wide variety of systems it may be used on. This makes it a much better choice for distros. -- Neil Bothwick In the begining, there was nothing.
