Now this project is GRUB 2 rather than PUPA. The location of the CVS repository was moved to GRUB's. * configure.ac: Use bug-grub as the reporting address. Use GRUB instead of PUPA. Change the version number to 1.90.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
|
||
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
|
||
robust, more powerful, and more portable.
|
||
|
||
Because GRUB 2 was formerly developed under the project PUPA, there
|
||
remain still many places where PUPA is used instead of GRUB 2. So
|
||
suppose that PUPA is a synonym of GRUB 2 for now.
|
||
|
||
See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.
|
||
|
||
See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
|
||
GRUB 2 data and program files.
|
||
|
||
Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
|
||
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Because GRUB 2 is still in developmental stage, GRUB 2 is not for general
|
||
use (yet). For now, you can install GRUB 2 into a floppy by these
|
||
instructions:
|
||
|
||
$ configure && make
|
||
$ ./pupa-mkimage -v -d . -o core.img _chain ext2
|
||
$ dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
|
||
$ dd if=core.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
|
||
|
||
It would be easier to use Bochs <http://bochs.sf.net/> than a real
|
||
machine.
