Using GNU GRUB 2 in Fedora
|
|
|
ca74990 |
==========================

Though GRUB 2 provides various feature enhancements over previous GRUB
|
|
|
ca74990 |
version (referred to as "GRUB", or "GRUB Legacy"), it did not reach its
|
|
|
ca74990 |
stability and feature completness yet, and thus is not ready to replace
|
|
|
ca74990 |
it for the whole user base. This package is primarily intended to
|
|
|
ca74990 |
encourage testing and accelerate distribution integration.
|
|
|

|
|
|

It is generally safe to install the package. It is able to co-exist with
|
|
|
ca74990 |
existing GRUB installation and adds itself to the GRUB menu upon
|
|
|
ca74990 |
installation, so you'll able to select GRUB 2 from GRUB menu during
|
|
|
ca74990 |
the boot.
