Kalev Lember eb5089f407 Fix upgrades from grub2 < 1.99-4 (#735259)
grub2 versions older than 1.99-4 had the following in %preun:
  # XXX Ugly
  rm -f /boot/%{name}/*.mod
  rm -f /boot/%{name}/*.img
  rm -f /boot/%{name}/*.lst
  rm -f /boot/%{name}/device.map

This change tries to work around the damage caused on upgrades, by first
backuping the files and later restoring them after the old packages's
%preun has been run.

Complements the change in 5c9195d.

Using GNU GRUB 2 in Fedora
==========================

Though GRUB 2 provides various feature enhancements over previous GRUB
version (referred to as "GRUB", or "GRUB Legacy"), it did not reach its
stability and feature completness yet, and thus is not ready to replace
it for the whole user base. This package is primarily intended to
encourage testing and accelerate distribution integration.

It is generally safe to install the package. It is able to co-exist with
existing GRUB installation and adds itself to the GRUB menu upon
installation, so you'll able to select GRUB 2 from GRUB menu during
the boot.

Utilities
---------

The GRUB 2 utilities are prefixed (or postfixed) with 'grub2':

grub2-editenv
grub2-mkimage
grub2-mkelfimage
grub2-mkrescue
grub2-emu
grub2-install
grub2-mkdevicemap
grub2-probe
grub2-setup
update-grub2

Documentation
-------------

The GRUB 2 lacks documentation. While you are encouraged to contribute
the documentation, you can use the GRUB 2 Wiki [1] as primary source of
information pertaining to this development snapshot.

[1] http://grub.enbug.org/

If you intend to install grub2 as your primary boot loader refer to
the GRUB 2 Wiki for information on how to set it up.

Support channels
----------------

If you find a bug in this package, report them to the Red Hat Bugzilla [2].
For talk about using grub2, use IRC channel #grub on freenode Network [3].
You can meet this package maintainer there (nick lkundrak).
