Yesterday I’ve blogged about my Problem with Widowns Vista disappearing from my grub boot and it’s solution.
Today while was doing aptitude update && aptitude upgrade I’ve just noticed the os-prober package as a recommended one.
After I’ve reviewed the info about this package with apt-cache show I’ve realized that the os-prober package has already become part of Debian installer and is responsible for probinal for all non-Linux (non-Debian) operating systems and properly adding them to the boot loader. That way os-prober assures that your other non-Linux operating systems will be available for boot along with the Debian as a grub boot option. In other words the os-prober package does in automated way exactly what I’ve blogged about just yesterday. I wish I knew it earlier to prevent all the manual interventions and tests to once again include my Vista to grub boot menu.
