Update Information:

This update removes the conflict with grub2 so as to ensure upgrades work correctly (there seems to be an rpm bug when a package obsoletes another package which conflicts with it). There is no longer a need for the conflicts statement in any case.

This update also has the grub-efi package obsolete previous versions of the grub package so that on upgrade from Fedora 15 via yum or preupgrade, grub-efi will be installed as well as grub2 to replace grub, ensuring a workable bootloader is present for both EFI and BIOS-based installs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.  Use 
su -c 'yum update grub' at the command line.
For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum",
available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.

All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.  More details on the
GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at
