Description of problem: The install guide contains a section that documents how one can use the rescue mode off the dvd. It doesn't document how one can use the live media for simple rescue operations. The most common use case is when people install Window after installing Fedora off a live media. They lose grub, and they can't figure out how to use the live media to reinstall it. There are a couple of blog posts that document it. For example: http://thecreationist.expertscolumn.com/article/recover-grub-using-fedora-live-cd It would maybe be a good idea to have a section in docs that provides hints on how the live cd can be used for basic rescue operations. Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur
I have some WIP content in the multiboot guide that covers this concern. Would you like to reassign, Petr?

Agreed on documenting procedures that can be used to fix up common problems on people's systems. However, please do not mention using rescue mode as provided by anaconda to do this on the live cd. Either document using rescue mode from the boot.iso, or document using the system tools as provided in the live cd environment. anaconda no longer offers a way to do rescue mode from the live environment, as you've got a full operating system at your disposal there. Thanks!
There's a section in the multiboot guide on reconfiguring GRUB for UEFI systems now, including setting up a chroot for use with a live image. I'll use this bug to track the equivalent process on legacy systems.
I'm closing this bug as part of a Bugzilla cleanup effort. The most likely reason is that the bug has been opened either against a component we no longer publish, or against Release Notes for an EOL release.
