Doesn't exist in the RedHat world as far as I can tell.  I tried it
after booting to Mepis but it didn't seem to think there was anything
worth fixing.  So maybe it works only with Debian type distros.  

There is a fairly substantial difference in the way files are set up
in the two worlds so it's probably not trivial to make something
recognise both.

Looks as though I'm going to have to wipe the Fedora and start again.
The idea to not use MBR I think is the main take-home message.  I'd
never tried that before.
