   Sounds like an a hefty requirement to have a boot loader figure out   
   the order of installed distributions.   
      
   If you leave Mageia grub2 install as default for awhile, you might   
   notice it will remember the last booted install and make that   
   selection the default selection for the next boot.   
      
   I did not appreciate that feature so I configured /etc/default/grub to   
   quit doing so, and rolled my own script in /etc/grub.d to make the   
   menu much more user friendly as to what to select from.
