| 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, ReiserFS, JFS and XFS, BSD ufs, |
| MS-DOS FAT16 and FAT32, Minix fs, and VSTa fs filesystems, plus |
| hardcoded blocklists |
| - can boot Multiboot-compliant kernels (such as GNU Mach), as well |
| as standard Linux and *BSD kernels |
| |
| See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB. |
| |
| If you are interested in the network support, see the file |
| README.netboot under the directory netboot. |
| |
| See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the |
| GRUB data and program files. See the GRUB manual for details about |
| using GRUB as your boot loader. Type "info grub" in the shell prompt. |
