Is it not possible to make a Red Hat utility that just repeats the grub

without having to run the entire Fedora installation.
You can run grub to reinstall the part that is in the MBR.
You use the 'root' command to tell it what partition has the config file
and 'setup' to write to the MBR of a particular hard drive. (If you are
using software raid 1, you want to do this manually as the install only
writes the MBR of one drive.)
Otherwise the grub.conf file is plain text and you can use your favorite
text editor to edit it.
If I understood the question properly, I believe it was how do you
install / configure grub (for dual booting was the specific question)
with no previous grub.conf file and no knowledge or experience with
grub. The question was not how to re-install grub. I am also awaiting
the answer to this question because I also had this problem and had to
totally re-install Fedora just because the grub.conf file got hosed and,
as of yet, no one has answered this question.
