Package: grub-pc-bin

Description: GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS modules)
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-grub. - 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 GRUB modules that have been built for use with the traditional PC/BIOS architecture. It can be installed in parallel with other flavours, but will not automatically install GRUB as the active boot loader nor automatically update grub.cfg on upgrade unless grub-pc is also installed.
