The real package is grub-pc (for pc architecture).
Just insall it, it will propose you to just chainload from the existing grub
to test.
After that, it can totally replace grub by installing it to the MBR with
grub-install.

gfx is for grub 1.x.
grub 2 support graphics but I don't think there is such themes as in
Fedora/OpenSuse/Ubuntu (gfx-grub).

Thank you Giles. In-fact I just installed it...and the scripts made it really easy.

Question: Now when i reboot it still shows me 'GRUB Version 1.96' am I seeing it right?
