Not in a reliable fashion. And FC3 actually uses "Other" instead of "DOS" for these Would 'Windows' when NTFS or FAT32 is discovered not be a better choice ? Most people would expect proper naming when suddenly a bootmanager offers choice they previously did not have. We could assume that people installing Fedora Core or RHEL are doing it on a system that (still) runs Windows. I'd rather have my DOS entry called Windows then my Windows (and other entries) being called Other |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: In the anaconda installer for grub, it says "DOS" for Microsoft Windows, and "Fedora Core" for Linux. Is there's a way to detect the foreign OS so it would not end up saying "DOS" as a label. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): while using anaconda in the process of installing grub. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 1-3.
