- 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.
