This is GNU GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB is intended to
provide important bootloader features that are missing from typical
personal computer BIOSes:
- provides fully-featured command line and graphical interfaces
- recognizes fdisk partitions and BSD disklabels
- can dynamically read Linux ext2fs, BSD ufs, and MS-DOS FAT
filesystems, plus hardcoded blocklists
- can boot Multiboot-compliant kernels (such as GNU Mach), as well
as standard Linux and BSD kernels
See the file docs/NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB.
See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
GRUB.
If you have any suggestions or bug reports, please send electronic
mail to the GRUB mailing list <bug-grub@gnu.org>.
