This is PUPA, the Preliminary Universal Programming Architecture for
|
||
GRUB. PUPA is a research project for the next generation of GNU GRUB.
|
||
The most important goal is to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust,
|
||
more powerful, and more portable.
|
||
|
||
See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to PUPA.
|
||
|
||
See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
|
||
PUPA data and program files.
|
||
|
||
Please visit the official web page of PUPA, for more information.
|
||
The URL is <http://www.nongnu.org/pupa/>.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Because PUPA is still in developmental stage, PUPA is not for general
|
||
use (yet). For now, you can install PUPA into a floppy by these
|
||
instructions:
|
||
|
||
$ configure && make
|
||
$ ./pupa-mkimage -v -d . -o core.img chain fat
|
||
$ dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
|
||
$ dd if=core.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 seek=1
|
||
|
||
It would be easier to use Bochs <http://bochs.sf.net/> than a real
|
||
machine.
