From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1 Description of problem: When installing the system, if Grub is told NOT to install to the MBR, it doesn't appear to make a grub.conf either. Therefore you cannot simply boot into Linux rescue and grub-install to make the system work, you have to make a grub.conf by hand or something along those lines. I was hoping to make a boot CD and not install GRUB to the MBR of a test machine, so I didn't install MBR. When I couldn't find mkbootdisk, I decided to install grub, and found that the config files didn't exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run installer 2. Chose not to install GRUB to MBR. 3. Look at /etc/grub when finished 4. Note that grub.conf/menu.lst/etc does not exist. Actual Results: No grub.conf, unable to install grub without manual creation of files. Expected Results: The config files should all be there ready for the user to run grub-install if they want to later. Additional info:
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
