Description Chris Ricker 2002-02-10 19:41:56 UTC 
I just tried upgrading a system which has a dual-boot RH 7.2 and Win XP
configuration, using GRUB as the boot loader.

When Anaconda got to the grub configuration stage, it started with a "fresh"
grub configuration.  It'd be nice if upgrades would read the existing boot
loader configuration file and offer the current configuration as the default....

Actually, I think this RFE is a little different if I'm reading the other report
correctly.  What I'm asking for is for the installer to display the current
configuration rather than the default configuration on the boot loader
configuration screens.  (if you still feel that's describing the same underlying
problem as 52498, please leave this one closed)
