Hi,
Is there any encryption support in grub?
I would like to encrypt the boot partition, and let someone type the
password into the grub boot screens.
So, one would then get:
1) Switch PC on.
2) Type in password
3) Grub Boot menu.
The reason to encrypt the boot partition is to make tampering mor
Hi,
What is the dependancy of the grub boot loader and the grub.cfg file.
I had a perfectly working grub2 install.
I changed my grub.cfg file, assuming that grub would automatically use
the new one, but grub failed to boot showing massed of errors in the
grub.cfg file it saw.
This was fixed by re-

Hi
Is there a setting for grub-install/grub-setup where, if set, will
never actually over write the boot sector and embedded area of my HD?
I don't mind grub.conf being written to, I just do not want the boot
up executables written to.
For example, if I have an Ubuntu install, and the grub package

I would like to have some .c code, compile it into 16-bit x86 code. I
then want to look at the resulting 16-bit x86 code with a

Hi,
Where is a 16bit x86 assembler/disassembler
I am assuming that one is using one for grub.
Does it do C to 16bit x86 code?
Kind Regards

I am using grub 2.
The stage 1 bit of grub, that stores itself in the partition table and
the following sectors, seems to be quite large.
I have a HP server system that only has 32 512-bytes sectors free
before the first partition but the grub core does not fit in there. It
