[NBLUG/Announce] General Meeting 2010-06-08: GRUB2

Kyle Rankin kyle at nblug.org
Fri Jun 4 11:40:50 PDT 2010


Start: 2010/06/08 - 7:30pm
End: 2010/06/08 - 9:00pm
Location: O'Reilly Media
Speaker: Kyle Rankin
Description:

    Just when you had gotten used to using GRUB instead of LILO, Ubuntu
    goes and changes GRUB to GRUB2. It turns out that the similarities
    between the two boot loaders end at the name. In this talk Kyle will go
    over the differences between GRUB and GRUB2 and discuss the new
    configuration files, which files you should and shouldn't touch, and
    why the Esc key no longer works at boot time. There will be a group
    counseling session at the end of the meeting for disaffected users.
