    2 REQUIREMENTS
    3 
    4 PRE-INSTALL
    5 	    
    6 POST-INSTALL
    7 
    8 	After installation you need to copy the stage files to 
    9 	/boot/grub/:
   10 	
   11 	# cp /usr/share/grub/i386-pc/* /boot/grub/
   12 	
   13 	(Of course, you can choose another location as described above but
   14 	this guide assumes that you use /boot/grub. Normally you need only 
   15 	the files stage1 and stage2 - please read the grub documentation if
   16 	you don't know why. http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/ and
   17 	http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html)
   18 
   19 	Now it's time to create your own "boot menu":
   20 
   21 	# # Copy sample file
   22 	# cp /boot/grub/grub.conf.sample /boot/grub/grub.conf
   23 	# # Modify it for your system 
   24 	# vi /boot/grub/grub.conf
   25 	
   26 	For more information about setting up your own grub boot menu file:
   27 	http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub-0.92/html_mono/grub.html#Configuration
   28 	
   29 	Last but not least - install/enable the bootmanager:
   30 	# # Run grub
   31 	# grub
   32 	grub> root (hdX,Y)
   33 	grub> setup (hdX)
   34 	grub> quit
   35 	
   36 	Please correct the path & device names according your configuration.
   37 	Also see http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Installation.
   38 	In the example above, X and Y need to be replaced with your hard drive
   39 	and grub partition.
   40 	
   41 	That's all. Good luck ;)	
   42 
   43 PRECAUTION
   44 
   45 	Installing a new boot manager is like modifiying the partition table 
   46 	or installing a new system kernel. Please create a rescue disk first :)
   47 	This is a heavily patched version of grub - Use it at your own risk !
