Obtaining GRUB
GRUB 2 is now available via ftp. You can download releases from the ftp site ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub.
All the development is done through the CVS repository. If you are interested in the cutting-edge version of GNU GRUB, for example, to test a newer version or to add new features, we strongly recommend giving a try to get the CVS version. You can obtain the instructions on how to get GRUB from the CVS in GNU GRUB - CVS.
In this CVS repository, these two modules are available freely:
- grub
- This module is for GRUB Legacy.
- grub2
- This module is for GRUB 2.
So, for example, if you want to get GRUB 2, you can specify grub2 like this:
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/grub co grub2
Return to the GNU Project home page.
