Its reference implementation, [http://directory.fsf.org/project/grub/ GNU GRUB], is the most widely deployed free software bootloader, as a consequence of this and its clean, legacy-free design, it is a widely adopted specification for new OS kernel projects. Among a number of editorial improvements, this version of Multiboot includes a rewrite of the `multiboot.h' header, which has been imported from [http://directory.fsf.org/project/grub/ GRUB] sources. This header is more complete than the previous version, and is licensed under permissive terms as a compromise to foster the development of Multiboot-compliant kernels. Previous versions of Multiboot were released with the same source tarball as GRUB Legacy. However, as GRUB Legacy is obsolete (we have moved development to GRUB 2 for several years), and no future release is planned, Multiboot is now provided in a separate source tarball.<br /> |User level=advanced<br /> |Status=Live<br /> |Component programs=<br /> |Homepage URL=http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html<br /> |VCS checkout command=<br /> |Computer languages=C<br /> |Documentation note=<br /> |Paid support=<br /> |IRC help=<br /> |IRC general=<br /> |IRC development=<br /> |Related projects=GNU_GRUB<br /> |Keywords=administration,boot loader,configuration,bootloader<br /> |Is GNU=n<br /> |Last review by=Kelly Hopkins<br /> |Last review date=2010-01-04<br /> |Submitted by=Database conversion<br /> |Submitted date=2011-04-01<br /> |Version identifier=0.6.96<br /> |Version date=2009-12-24<br /> |Version status=beta<br /> |Version download=http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/multiboot-0.6.96.tar.gz<br /> |License verified date=2010-01-04<br /> |Version comment=<br /> }}<br /> {{Person<br /> |Role=Maintainer<br /> |Real name=Robert Millan<br /> |Email=rmh@aybabtu.com<br /> |Resource URL=<br /> }}<br /> {{Software category<br /> |Interface=command-line<br /> |System-administration=configuration<br /> |Use=system-administration<br /> }}<br /> {{Project license<br /> |License=GPLv2orlater<br /> |License verified by=Kelly Hopkins<br /> |License verified date=2010-01-04<br /> }}</div>
