Description of problem: The latest Multiboot Guide (for F23) says "When your computer starts, it first performs self tests, then loads a bootloader, GRUB. GRUB provides a menu so you can select the Fedora kernel or other operating system you would like to boot," The first sentence is misleading. Computers *don't* load GRUB unless someone has installed Linux on them. My laptop already has three boot-time menus (I think UEFI, Lenovo assistant, and Windows boot manager) that let me select various things to run, but none of them is GRUB. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Multiboot_Guide/index.html#multiboot-introduction Expected results: Should say something like: When you install Fedora it also installs a separate piece of software named GRUB. GRUB is a "bootloader" that determines what your computer does after it starts. When your computer starts, it first performs self tests, then loads GRUB. GRUB provides a menu so you can select the Fedora kernel or other operating system you would like to run; it then passes control to that operating system which start or "boots". Additional info: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Multiboot_Guide/BOOT-basics.html makes this clearer. FWIW my problem is after installing Fedora I couldn't boot Windows from Fedora's gray and white menu (GRUB?). I had to press [Enter] at startup and press F12 to get back to a different blue and gray menu that let me choose whether to boot Fedora, Windows Boot Manager, boot from hard disk, Lenovo Diagonstics, etc. I think this other menu is the "system boot menu", which the Multiboot Guide only mentions in its FAQ.
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.
