如题,
还有为避免重复劳动,我如何知道文章是否已经被翻译了啊?

翻译了一般跟了帖子的。先看看wiki上面有没有

1.1 Overview
Briefly, a boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to an operating system kernel software (such as Linux or GNU Mach). The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system (e.g. a GNU system).
简要来说，启动引导程序是电脑开机后运行的第一个软件。它是负责装入并将系统控制权给操作系统核的是软件(比如Linux或者GUN Mach)。系统核心初始化操作系统的剩余部分(比如GUN系统)。

GNU GRUB is a very powerful boot loader, which can load a wide variety of free operating systems, as well as proprietary operating systems with chain-loading1. GRUB is designed to address the complexity of booting a personal computer; both the program and this manual are tightly bound to that computer platform, although porting to other platforms may be addressed in the future.
GUN GRUB是一个很强大的启动引导器，它能通过chain-loading引导很多种类的自由或私有的操作系统。GRUB被设计用来从事于启动个人电脑这个复杂的过程，它和本指南是与这些计算机体系是紧密相关的，尽管将来可能会支持其它体系。

One of the important features in GRUB is flexibility; GRUB understands filesystems and kernel executable formats, so you can load an arbitrary operating system the way you like, without recording the physical position of your kernel on the disk. Thus you can load the kernel just by specifying its file name and the drive and partition where the kernel resides.
GRUB的另一个特点是灵活，GRUB能够知道各种文件类型和系统核心的执行方式，因此你能通过你喜欢的方式去装入（启动）一个专用系统，而不用记录系统核心在磁盘上的物理位置。如此，你能通过指定核心所在的磁盘和分区以及特定的文件名来装入系统核心。

When booting with GRUB, you can use either a command-line interface (see Command-line interface), or a menu interface (see Menu interface). Using the command-line interface, you type the drive specification and file name of the kernel manually. In the menu interface, you just select an OS using the arrow keys. The menu is based on a configuration file which you prepare beforehand (see Configuration). While in the menu, you can switch to the command-line mode, and vice-versa. You can even edit menu entries before using them.
我们可以通过GRUB的命令行界面或菜单界面来启动系统。用命令行界面时，你可以手工输入指定的磁盘和核心文件名；而在菜单界面时，你可以通过上下键来选择启动一个系统。菜单是根据你事先准备好的一个配置文件来显示的。在菜单界面下你同样可以切换到命令行界面，甚至可以直接编辑菜单项。

In the following chapters, you will learn how to specify a drive, a partition, and a file name (see Naming convention) to GRUB, how to install GRUB on your drive (see Installation), and how to boot your OSes (see Booting), step by step.
在以下的章节中，你将一步一步的学会如何为GRUB指定一个磁盘驱动器、一个分区、一个文件名，如何在磁盘上安装GRUB，如何通过GRUB来启动你的操作系统。

Besides the GRUB boot loader itself, there is a grub shell grub (see Invoking the grub shell) which can be run when you are in your operating system. It emulates the boot loader and can be used for installing the boot loader.
除了GRUB本身，你还可以在操作系统中使用grub shell。它可以在真正安装使用GRUB启动引导器前在操作系统环境中模拟它。

1.2 History of GRUB GRUB的历史
GRUB originated in 1995 when Erich Boleyn was trying to boot the GNU Hurd with the University of Utah's Mach 4 microkernel (now known as GNU Mach). Erich and Brian Ford designed the Multiboot Specification (see Multiboot Specification), because they were determined not to add to the large number of mutually-incompatible PC boot methods.
GRUB起源于1995年，当时Erich Boleyn正试图用犹他州大学的Mach 4 microkernel (现在被称为GNU Mach)启动GRUN Hurd，Erich和Brian Ford设计了多重启动的规范说明，他们认为不能添加过多的相互冲突的电脑启动方式。

Erich then began modifying the FreeBSD boot loader so that it would understand Multiboot. He soon realized that it would be a lot easier to write his own boot loader from scratch than to keep working on the FreeBSD boot loader, and so GRUB was born.
Erich开始着手修改FreeBSD的启动引导器，让它能够理解多重启动。他很快认识到与其对FreeBSD的启动引导器进行缝缝补补，还不如直接动手写一个新的启动引导器，因此，GRUB诞生了。

Erich added many features to GRUB, but other priorities prevented him from keeping up with the demands of its quickly-expanding user base. In 1999, Gordon Matzigkeit and Yoshinori K. Okuji adopted GRUB as an official GNU package, and opened its development by making the latest sources available via anonymous CVS. See Obtaining and Building GRUB, for more information.
Erich为GRUB增加了一些新特性，但是这些还不能满足不断增加的使用的需要。1999年，Gordon Matzigkeit和Yoshinori K. Okuji将GRUB收录入GNU的官文软件包中，并且将通过匿名CVS进行开放式的开发。 请参见“获得并安装GRUB”来得到更多的信息。

老弟, 给个英文链接啊.

是不是所有东西都值得去翻译？？？

在http://www.linuxsir.org/main/?q=node/129#6.1中已有对grub的详细中文介绍。

gg啊

把GRUB2那几个启动文件的官方资料翻译下？

这个还没中文资料，绝不重复！

又见挖坟党。。。搜索U坛，找smallapple的pdf教程。

你是说那个GRUB2基础？

看完了，也只懂照样画葫芦，改个启动菜单！


对理解GRUB2那几个启动SELL文件没什么帮助！

挖坟的！你已经被包围了！
