This is the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader, rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. GRUB 2 currently runs on i386 and macppc, and groks many filesystems (e.g. ext2, fat, ufs, minix, iso9660, jfs, hfs). It is able to load and boot Multiboot (1 and 2) and Linux (bzImage and zImage) kernels and chainload foreign operating systems' bootsectors. This package is based on the current bazaar development snapshot.

GRUB 2 is in development stage and is still neither complete nor well
|
|
tested. Anyways, just installing this package can do no harm.
|
|
|
|
To actually install GRUB 2 to disk, use grub2-install utility. Do not do it
|
|
unless you understand what it actually does, for it may lead to loss of
|
|
data when used improperly. Refer to the address below for more information.
|
|
|
|
Be sure to consult GRUB wiki [1] before using GRUB 2, and in particular the
|
|
manual [2].
|
|
|
|
Using package emulator/qemu for testing GRUB 2 is a good idea, indeed.

Enjoy GRUB. Your feedback is welcome.
