This package contains common files shared by the distinct flavours of GRUB. It is shared between GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2, although a number of files specific to GRUB 2 are here as long as they do not break GRUB Legacy.

grub

GRUB (Grand Unified Boot Loader) is an experimental boot loader

capable of booting into most free operating systems - Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, GNU Mach, and others as well as most commercial operating systems.

grub-coreboot

GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (Coreboot version)

GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based on a cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following new features: - Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax. - Support for modern partition maps such as GPT. - Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing GRUB add-ons can plug in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking update-grub. This is a dependency package for a version of GRUB that has been built for use with platforms running the Coreboot firmware. Installing this package indicates that this version of GRUB should be the active boot loader.

grub-efi-amd64

GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-AMD64 version)

GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based on a cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following new features: - Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax. - Support for modern partition maps such as GPT. - Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing GRUB add-ons can plug in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking update-grub. This is a dependency package for a version of GRUB that has been built for use with the EFI-AMD64 architecture, as used by Intel Macs (unless a BIOS interface has been activated). Installing this package indicates that this version of GRUB should be the active boot loader.

grub-efi-ia32

GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI-IA32 version)

GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based on a cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following new features: - Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax. - Support for modern partition maps such as GPT. - Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing GRUB add-ons can plug in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking update-grub. This is a dependency package for a version of GRUB that has been built for use with the EFI-IA32 architecture, as used by Intel Macs (unless a BIOS interface has been activated). Installing this package indicates that this version of GRUB should be the active boot loader.

grub-ieee1275

GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (Open Firmware version)

GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based on a cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following new features: - Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax. - Support for modern partition maps such as GPT. - Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing GRUB add-ons can plug in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking update-grub. This is a dependency package for a version of GRUB that has been built for use with Open Firmware implementations. Installing this package indicates that this version of GRUB should be the active boot loader.

GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based on a cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following new features: - Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax. - Support for modern partition maps such as GPT. - Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub. Packages providing GRUB add-ons can plug in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking update-grub. - VESA-based graphical mode with background image support and complete 24-bit color set. - Support for extended charsets. Users can write UTF-8 text to their menu entries. This is a dependency package for a version of GRUB that has been built for use with the traditional PC/BIOS architecture. Installing this package indicates that this version of GRUB should be the active boot loader.
