GRUB 0.5 released

[Erich Boleyn <erich@uruk.org>]

This is the announcement for GRUB 0.5.

I'm sending this out because the features have been relatively
well-tested, and while I want to work on more, that will be a
0.5.1 or some such later release.

Onto the boiler-plate:

The GRUB distribution is my attempt to provide a highly flexible
generic multi-OS booting functionality with all the functionality
described in the multiboot document plus some support for native
FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, and chainloading other OSes such as
DOS/Windows/NT in a fashion which is easy to use for beginners and
highly functional for experts.

Information on GRUB and the "Multiboot" proposal can be found at:

	http://www.uruk.org/grub/

The documentation here and in the multiboot proposal is also very
useful to prospective OS and bootloader writers for PCs.  Several
of the techniques used in GRUB have no analogue in the free software
world, and a few are apparently superior to proprietary OSes as well.

This release of GRUB can be retrieved from:
