installing Grub2 on Trisquel 3.01
- Anmelden oder Registrieren um Kommentare zu schreiben
ahoy all,
i see that GRUB2 is available in the Trisquel 3.01 repositories. i was going to install GRUB2 to help simplify a multi-boot setup with Trisquel, however instaling GRUB2 requires that some seemingly core packages are removed, such as trisquel and trisquel-base. just wondering if someone had a solution for installing GRUB2 without having this happen.
thanks

I have read that updating from Grub1 to Grub2 is a dangerous operation on a previous working installation -Ubuntu, in fact, avoids updating Grub when you update from 9.04 to 9.10-. Are you sure that it is not going to cause you problems?
it definitely can leave you with no easy way to boot, but i did
not think it was dangerous. one just needs to be careful and make
sure one understands the process first. i simply installed GRUB2
from a Gentoo installation on another partition. it was very easy
and i think GRUB2 is much better than GRUB so far, especially the os-
prober, which lets GRUB2 find and list any other bootable options
from a single operating system.
peace, w

Probably "dangerous" was not the right word, I just meant that it could cause you problems and leave you without a way to boot, but I see you know what you are talking about ;)
