QGRUBEditor

BIG FAT NOTE: QGRUBEditor's development was discontinued and a new application has been created: KGRUBEditor(http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=75442). It contains exactly the same features and a lot more plus the fact that it is written in the KDE4 libraries. Please take a look at it.

----------------------------------------------------

QGRUBEditor is a system tool to view and edit the GRUB boot loader. It offers many features and it is the perfect solution for those who want to change the way GRUB works, without messing with GRUB's configuration files.

HOW TO INSTALL:
Install by entering into the extracted folder and typing (in the console)

qmake-qt4

make

sudo make install

For more information see the INSTALL file.

Have fun!

NOTE: QGRUBEditor depends on:

gzip (gunzip)

grub

imagemagick

libqt4-core (>=4.3.0)

In this version we tried to implement some kind of documentation (What's This?) but although it explains all functions available on the GUI it isn't complete (doesn't documentate all parts of the application). Thus, in some of the next releases we hope to have full HTML-based documentation.
