I am using fedora 16. I have had some success in installing BURG, following this page: http://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/ManualInstall

In the "Compile and Install" step, however, I ran into a problem when running the "make" command: /home/user/burg/efiemu/main.c:288:14: error: the variable 'err' is set but not used.[-Werror=unused-but-set-variable] To work around this, I edited $HOME/burg_pc/Makefile by searching for the first occurrence of "-Werror" (there was only one instance) and removing that option. (A similar workaround seemed to work for burg-emu.) I was then able to run make (with several warnings) and make-install and ran burg-install and burg-mkconfig (as specified in the wiki link). Upon reboot, BURG loaded, but in text-only mode. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[SOLVED] Instructions for installing BURG for Fedora 16 are as follows. Instructions are modified from the manual install instructions found at this page: http://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/ManualInstall

PREPARATION To compile the pc version of BURG, you need install build dependence: sudo yum install autoconf automake bison flex make gcc ruby python gettext-devel freetype-devel

DOWNLOAD SOURCE CODE First, install bazaar: sudo yum install bzr To download source for the first time: bzr branch lp:burg After each update, you need to regenerate the configuration files by running this command in the burg source directory: ./autogen.sh

COMPILE AND INSTALL To compile pc version of BURG: mkdir $HOME/burg_pc cd $HOME/burg_pc $HOME/burg/configure --with-platform=pc --prefix=$HOME/burg_install Now you'll need to go into the $HOME/burg_install directory, and open Makefile in gedit. Search the file for "-Werror" (there should only be one occurrence), and delete that option. You should now be able to (still in the $HOME/burg_pc directory) run the following commands: make make install

INSTALLATION Go ahead and install BURG now: sudo $HOME/burg_install/sbin/burg-install /dev/sda sudo $HOME/burg_install/sbin/burg-mkconfig -o /boot/burg/burg.cfg Now you need to download the fonts and themes: http://code.google.com/p/burg/downloads/detail?name=burg-themes_20100607.zip&can=2&q= Copy all contents of the zip to the /boot/burg directory.

CONFIGURATION Go to the $HOME/burg_install/etc/default directory and open burg in gedit. I found that in order to explicitly state the BURG theme, rather than using the nifty "saved" option. I also had to set a few other values as well. Here are all the ones I changed: GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm GRUB_THEME="radiance" GRUB_FONT="/boot/burg/fonts/unifont.pf2" After making the necessary challenges, run mkconfig again: sudo $HOME/burg_install/sbin/burg-mkconfig -o /boot/burg/burg.cfg

Now reboot! Hopefully it worked.
