Obtaining GRUB Legacy

GRUB Legacy has not been released publicly, but you can still get test releases from the ftp site ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub. Note that these test releases are only for GRUB Legacy.

GRUB Legacy is also available from CVS. 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 Legacy, you can specify grub like this:

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

Return to GNU's home page.
