Howdy,
Have a couple of open items in forum that I haven't been able to resolve and am looking for guidance.
Item 1:
I have F16 installed on a system with Samba server 3.x. I have configured both directory shares and a printer share through Samba. I can access these shares from Win7, I can access the directory shares from WinVista but not the printer share, and I can't access these shares at all from WinXP. Any hints?
Item 2:
The Bootloader Configuration utility in F16 is looking for a grub.conf file under the /boot/grub directory instead of looking for grub.cfg under /boot/grub2. In spite of this, I am trying to setup dual boot on this system where I have the F16 on the primary hard drive and Win7 on the second hard drive. I've tried a few different menu entries based on example text in the grub documentation. Any guidance on where I can look for info on configuring dual boot Linux/Win7?
Thanks.

---- you should post separate questions so they can be tackled separately.
1. Logs are your friend. Turn up the logging on samba (log level in smb.conf) You might actually want to share the configuration information too (smb.conf). Lastly, WinXP... if you open an explorer window and type \YOUR_SAMBA_SERVER does it connect? Does it allow you to authenticate?
2. I am under the assumption that if you install os-prober and then run grub2-mkconfig (see below) that it should just work.
yum install os-prober grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Where does it fail? What is your configuration in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg (before/after these steps?)

Hello Craig,
Thanks for the advice and direction. I'll give these a try to see what happens, and separate the items if any follow up questions. :)
