Package: grub-pc (1.96+20080704-1 and others)

GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS version)

GRUB is a portable, powerful bootloader. This version of GRUB is based on a cleaner design than its predecessors, and provides the following new features: 

 - Scripting in grub.cfg using BASH-like syntax.
 - Support for modern partition maps such as GPT.
 - Modular generation of grub.cfg via update-grub.  Packages providing GRUB
   add-ons can plug in their own script rules and trigger updates by invoking
   update-grub2.
 - VESA-based graphical mode with background image support and complete 24-bit
   color set.
 - Support for extended charsets.  Users can write UTF-8 text to their menu
   entries.

This package contains a version of GRUB that has been built for use with traditional PC/BIOS architecture.
