As of updates today, as requested by several community users and gain better support for pre-installed OSes, GRUB2 is gonna be the default choice.

Parsix-Installer package has already been updated to support GRUB2 and will ship with Kev TEST-2 disks.

If you are planning to update your system using apt-get, here is the important procedure of migration. Please do it one by one and carefully to avoid killing your boot manager system:

Code:
# sed -i s#/sbin/update-grub#update-grub#g /etc/kernel-img.conf
# apt-get install grub2


Its gonna ask to chain load from existing GRUB, answer **NO**, if answered YES, run this command:

Code:
# /usr/sbin/upgrade-from-grub-legacy


To Continue:

Code:
# rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade


Its gonna install the new parsix-graphics package that has all new GRUB2 splash screen.

Done! Let me know if you have any problems.
