news 28 Posted September 4, 2009 Hi, As you may have noticed, upgrades of the GRUB Legacy package (`grub') in unstable have begun using GRUB 2 (`grub-pc' package) as upgrade path. This means that tentatively, GRUB 2 is to be considered the option for Lenny to Squeeze upgrades. It should also become the option for new Squeeze installs. This decision is not final yet! We're looking for feedback on this transition. First and foremost, we need people to test GRUB 2 on their machines and report any issues that they may find. GRUB 2 features a cleaner design, and is much more robust than its predecessor. Also, unlike GRUB Legacy it's under active development. Nervertheless, we're aware that for a minority of users, upgrading is not currently an option, because they rely on specific features of GRUB Legacy that GRUB 2 doesn't provide. For those users, GRUB Legacy will continue being supported, at least up untill the Squeeze release. Your friendly GRUB maintainers, Robert Millan Felix Zielcke Share this post Link to post
