Both disks were installed and configured as primary. I've been shutting down the system and switching the IDE cables depending on which one I'd like to have booted. You should be able to choose the drive with BIOS setup rather than physically switching cables. How can I configure the grub on the F18 system so I can control which system I'd like to load at boot time? Well that's a rabbit hole but what you can try for starters is to mount the Windows volume (open question as to which one, I'm mainly used to single partition Windows installs, but if you install to an unpartitioned drive, the default behavior of the Windows installer creates a sort of boot partition that's small, and a main one); and then simply do: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg By default mkconfig uses os-prober and ought to find Windows without it being mounted but it might help it find it easier if it is mounted. If it's encrypted, with TrueCrypt or Bit Locker then I have no ideas whether it's possible. Could I set up the F18 system as a secondary disk with the Win7 system as the primary, and boot from the secondary with grub configured on it? Yes you tell BIOS setup you want to boot from the secondary disk. And then it will always load GRUB. I'm not sure how Win7 would respond to booting as a secondary disk when the install was done as primary… I don't think it'll care. If this was lilo, I could probably figure it out, but I'm unsure how to configure grub for this specifically. I'm not sure LILO on disk A will point to an OS on disk B. GRUB can definitely do that.

must be missing something
II used fed up to upgrade my system to f20 but when I executed; fedup --network 20 my system was still running f18 according to uname.

There was no grub entry for Continue Upgrade or something like that or 4b. You ran the upgrade process after rebooting and you're still seeing an f18 kernel -- Getting tired of non-Fedora discussions and self-serving posts -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: texlive
Hello: My suggestion is that no matter which distro are using you, install TeXLive 2013 ( http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/133235/installing-tex-live-2013-on-linux) full or TeXLive 2014 (coming soon) from an iso image from the CTAN ( http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/Images) or another source ( http://www.ctan.org/pkg/eitl). Then you'll be able to get your TeXLive packages updated and don't depend of the likes and decisions from the people who develops Fedora or another distro, who thinks about the average user and sometimes for that, is that you have issues when you are out of the average usage.

One is a F18 system and the other is a Win7 system. Both disks were installed and configured as primary. I've been shutting down the system and switching the IDE cables depending on which one I'd like to have booted. You should be able to choose the drive with BIOS setup rather than physically switching cables. As it turned out, I was able to do this since one disk is PIDE and the other is SATA and Linux is much more resilient with booting than Windows. How can I configure the grub on the F18 system so I can control which system I'd like to load at boot time? Well that's a rabbit hole but what you can try for starters is to mount the Windows volume (open question as to which one, I'm mainly used to single partition Windows installs, but if you install to an unpartitioned drive, the default behavior of the Windows installer creates a sort of boot partition that's small, and a main one); and then simply do: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg By default mkconfig uses os-prober and ought to find Windows without it being mounted but it might help it find it easier if it is mounted. If it's encrypted, with TrueCrypt or Bit Locker then I have no ideas whether it's possible. Thanks for your help. This is exactly what I did. I'm not a Linux newbie - just didn't realize grub had advanced as far as it has in recent years. Much of the research I did with grub prior to posting turned out to be wrong and unrelated. Yes you tell BIOS setup you want to boot from the secondary disk. And then it will always load GRUB. Six of one... I had only set it up a few days ago, so there wasn't all that much switching, actually. I'm not sure how Win7 would respond to booting as a secondary disk when the install was done as primary... I don't think it'll care. I meant slave, which probably would have been a problem, but you're right - it didn't care just as secondary when controlling it through the BIOS. Thanks for your help.
