My system was new in March 2013. Fedora-18 was installed. Whatever grub came with that is the grub that was installed. I ran "yum update" every week. In July or August, I updated to Fedora-19. I continue to run "yum update" every week. So why
is my grub so out-of date? Doesn't the "yum update" take care of that? By the way, I don't recall doing anything to customize my grub boot parameters. Could this have something to do with this being a dual-boot system?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">thanks,</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Bill.<br></div></div></body></html>
