People,
I thought grub-customizer might help me do something but I have loaded it onto two computers now (F37 KDE WS) and a server (F34 XFCE) and after I run the program (it takes minutes to get info), the listing of OSs only shows info for the secondary HDs on each computer - instead of also the active OS booted from /dev/sda - why is this?
Thanks,
Phil.

I installed it on F37, and ran it, and got the same behavior as you did, though it was much faster here, around a minute. I can't say for sure, since I wasn't aware of grub-customizer until you mentioned it, but I find an option to boot a selected OS from the list in the General Settings. I think the assumption is that you won't want to (re)boot the system you are already running from grub-customizer, since there are options to do that from the running system itself.

Yes, I guess that could be correct - thanks for confirming!

Most likely because grub-customizer doesn’t understand BLSCFG grub entries and is entirely unsuitable for use on Fedora without tweaking the default grub settings.
