Basically you'd just launch os-prober from Grub2 and add those entries to /etc/grub.d/40_custom.
Maybe you want to have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2

IMHO this is rather an upstream topic for the desktop projects. I do not think Mageia should tamper with these desktop environments like Mandriva does with the RosaLab extension.Piras wrote:And she has yet to make each desktop environment, or at least the most important (KDE, Gnome and Xfce), more friendly for the novice user.
Right. But Mageia is not a company which has to round up their users to help them (like Mandriva). It is a community including everybody, from the president of the organisation down to the newest user. This (and the necessity for everybody to participate) is what we've been propagating from day 1.A positive policy to emulate Ubuntu (at least Ubuntu the old days) is to encourage the maximum participation of the community, being attentive to their needs and incorporating their contributions quickly.
Strictly speaking there are not two parties. But of course we have to be transparent and communicative - that goes for the "just users" likewise. Communication inside the Mageia universe and outside is essential. Here Mageia is on a good way.a good relationship between the two parties.

That's what we are writing the MAQeias for: viewforum.php?f=36 But we also need additional documentation, f.ex. in our new permanent wiki: https://wiki.mageia.org/ Feel free to help us.Piras wrote:Small steps such as preparing a booklet of basic configuration of each new version (multimedia, java, adobe flash, adding applications) can do much to make a Mageia most popular distribution.
That's the only point where your perception is a bit off. There's no such split between development team and the community. You know, Mageia is a community distro, driven by and for the community. That means every developer is part of the community and every community member can become a developer, in whatever area you wish to work on, be it packaging, documentation, artwork, marketing&communication or quality assurance.Piras wrote: But this depends on both the development team and the community. What is important - more important than anything else - is there a good relationship between the two parties.
