FAQ: Do i need to re-install F15 final release when it's out?

ANS: No, just keep your system updated on a daily basis and it'll switch automatically to the final release

Hi,

This is just the start of the development process and it is very likely more features will be proposed and accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.

Rahul,

what are the chances Grub2 1.99 being accepted once released?

RahulSundaram · #6 31st October 2010, 11:52 AM

Hi,

It will be available as a parallel installation option under the package name grub2 as it is already. However noone is driving the effort to make it default if that was your question.

I don't like Grub2 very much because the configuration is more difficult thann in Grub Legacy…

I wonder if Fedora will ever join Debian and go to eglibc.

No offense to RedHat, but I would've fired somebody like Ulrich Drepper in a heart beat.

It would make programming in C for Fedora a lot easier too. :/ glibc lags severely behind Mac OSX's and Windows' C libraries, and a hostile, unresponsive developer isn't helping.

That's a rather short feature list for 15.

The feature submission deadline is on January 25, which is lots of time to consider and add if need be:

eglibc is not really any sort of major change. Its mostly just makefile changes. Otherwise it is source and binary compatible.

Looking like it's just a little ahead of schedule at this point

keep up the great work guys!

I used it and learned all the scripts when it first came out, then decided to edit grub.cfg directly. Haven't looked back. The simplest way of handling grub2.

I know about all the "disadvantages" of editing grub.cfg. I have't had one error yet, and I've been doing this for a long time now. I don't use any special grapics for grub2 just the basics. I look at the grub menu all of 2 seconds anyway.
