You mean the command detailed in the Ubuntu docs that doesn't seem to
exist in F16?   Someone better get on the Fedora QA guys about
that...oh...wait....   :)


Hopefully, soon Fedora will have its own docs, detailing the
differences.  Unless a change is made, an F16 64 bit on a VM
installed today does not have an update-grub, (by any name, such as
update_grub, update-grub2, or whatever.)


No, Petrus had the command correctly, grub2-mkconfig -o
/boot/grub/grub.cfg  (And Petrus, thanks for the tip about making a
custom.cfg, which does, as you pointed out, avoid the need to run a
command.
