Talk:GRUB Legacy

Default linking for GRUB should now be GRUB2
Many years have passed since GRUB2 has been the standard on most distributions as a secondary bootloader. I think it is time that this article be renamed to GRUB legacy and "GRUB" becomes the GRUB2 page by default. In order to smoothly execute this change we'll need to fix/review all the linking to verify we correct references to the (to be created) GRUB legacy page. We'll then move the currently existing GRUB2 page to here (GRUB) and create a redirect from GRUB2 to GRUB.

Highest priority will be any links in the Handbooks, however I believe all of them should point to GRUB2.

The GRUB legacy package (0.97.x) is no longer available in gentoo.git, which makes this suggested change more than safe. If I don't here anything a week or so I'll execute this change. Kind regards, --Maffblaster (talk) 22:53, 6 November 2019 (UTC)


 * As Grub (legacy) has gone, why not completely delete this page and then move GRUB2 => GRUB

USE flags
The USE flags section is showing the USE flags for grub:2 instead of grub:0. Not sure how to fix this. - dcljr (talk) 04:15, 6 January 2017 (UTC)


 * This cannot be fixed unless the package.g.o API supports referencing a certain slot. --Maffblaster (talk) 00:02, 4 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Inserted the info "manually" into the article. - dcljr (talk) 08:28, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
