Burg is a brand-new boot loader based on GRUB. It uses a new object format which allows it to be built in a wider range of OS, including Linux/Windows/OSX/Solaris/FreeBSD, etc. It also has a highly configurable menu system which works in both text and graphic mode.

Wubi installIf you install ubuntu using wubi, follow steps in this section. Otherwise, jump to the next section. First, download the latest burg_wubi package from the download area, and extract to C:\ubuntu\ directory. To enable graphic menu, download the latest burg-themes package from download area, and extract to C:\ubuntu\burg\ directory. Then, copy C:\ubuntu\burg\wubildr to C:\ and overwrite the old file. That's it, it will display BURG menu next time you start wubi from NT loader. To restore the original loader, just copy C:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr to C:\. BTW, you may notice that all OS uses the unknown icon, this is because wubildr rely on /boot/grub/grub.cfg to add menu items, but grub.cfg don't have the --class option which is required to display OS icon properly. This is easy to fix. Login ubuntu, copy 10_lupin and 30_os-prober from /host/ubuntu/burg/ directory to /etc/grub.d/, then run update-grub to generate a new grub.cfg. Normal installHere are the steps to install BURG using PPA package from launchpad. 1. Insert these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bean123ch/burg/ubuntu lucid main You should replace lucid with the correct code name. Currently the following release are supported: jaunty (9.04), karmic (9.10), lucid (10.04), maverick (10.10). And install burg and related themes using these commands: sudo apt-get update If you want to avoid the warning about unknown signature, use these commands to import it: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 55708F1EE06803C5 Then, install burg to MBR with the following command: sudo burg-install /dev/sda Change hd0 if you want to install to other disk. 2. Edit configuration file /etc/default/burg For the latest version, you don't need to modify /etc/default/burg at all.

Here are the hot-keys defined in the boot menu:
Since 20100309 version, burg also supports grub2 theme. To try it, set GRUB_THEME to the name of the theme file, and run update-burg. Currently only one grub2 theme is available in burg-themes package: GRUB_THEME=/boot/burg/themes/debian-theme/theme.txt Screenshots: Screenshots 3.
