It would appear that on Apr 7, Jeff Vian did say:

Your words have the ring truth Jeff. I did say I didn't know that the advice
in question would work... The thing I wanted to understand was how it
was going to "mess up the fedora linux install"? Which was what I was
reacting to. If I realized that needing to reinstall the boot loader was
all that was meant by messing up an linux installation, I wouldn't have
asked.
Looking back I'm thinking I expressed my question poorly.
Sorry for any confusion.
