grub: Installation

 
 4 Installation
 **************
 
 In order to install GRUB as your boot loader, you need to first install
 the GRUB system and utilities under your UNIX-like operating system
 (⇒Obtaining and Building GRUB).  You can do this either from the
 source tarball, or as a package for your OS.
 
    After you have done that, you need to install the boot loader on a
 drive (floppy or hard disk) by using the utility 'grub-install' (⇒
 Invoking grub-install) on a UNIX-like OS.
 
    GRUB comes with boot images, which are normally put in the directory
 '/usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>' (for BIOS-based machines
 '/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc').  Hereafter, the directory where GRUB images
 are initially placed (normally '/usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>') will be
 called the "image directory", and the directory where the boot loader
 needs to find them (usually '/boot') will be called the "boot
 directory".
