# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| grub-legacy: GNU GRUB Legacy bootloader grub-legacy: grub-legacy: This is the legacy (0.9x) version of GNU GRUB, the GRand Unified grub-legacy: Bootloader. GRUB is an alternative to other familiar bootloaders grub-legacy: such as LILO. Unlike LILO, it loads a kernel through direct file- grub-legacy: system support rather than a block list so it does not need to be grub-legacy: updated if a new kernel is installed. Among many improvements, this grub-legacy: version supports the ext4 filesystem, has splashimage capability and grub-legacy: and offers better SCSI and RAID support. grub-legacy: Also included is Kent Robotti's 'grubconfig' tool (similar to the grub-legacy: Slackware 'liloconfig' setup tool).
