Linux Lite - Grub in 3.2
#8
(09-11-2016, 11:54 PM)mdavies5 link Wrote: Pardon my ignorance, but what was wrong with Grub in LL? I have had LL installed with other distros and all distros appear in the grub menu ok. Two provisos though: I always installed LL after other distro and never installed with Windows.
Due to a customization in LL's grub, if another Linux distro were in charge of booting the computer it's menu listing for starting LL would fail to work.  The easiest solution has always been to let LL's grub be the one in charge of booting all the OSes.  Since you installed LL last and didn't alter default to install grub to the MBR of the drive, it's grub replaced whatever was in MBR before and took over booting of computer -- therefore you never experienced any problems multi-booting.

Since this distro is aimed at Windows users who are new to Linux, the customization in grub was geared toward making the grub menu better/(easier?) for them to work with when dual-booting with Windows.  (At least, that's my understanding of it.)  I've never dual-booted LL with Windows, so I can't tell you what is different/(better?) about it.  Have recently acquired a used desktop with Win7 on it.  Installed a different Linux distro on it and the standard grub menu choice for Windows seems pretty straight forward to me.
