Obtaining GRUB

GRUB 2 is now available via ftp. You may 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:

$ export CVS_RSH="ssh"
$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/grub co grub2

Return to GNU's home page.
