Burn a grub 2 boot disk

Hi, would someone please direct me to a link or two that covers how to burn a grub 2 boot up disk? I have the grub 2 tar file from their site.

Thanks for your expertise!

EDDY1 is correct that we may need to know where you got the tar file from to be sure.

I got the tar file here: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-download.html I wanted to create my own like I did somehow with grub legacy but I'll take whatever I can get. I do have bareso. I have a few system-rescue cds but I get into trouble with mass produced linux fixes.

Super-grub2 disk is just a boot disk whiich will allow you to boot os, so that you can do repairs from within the os.

With brasero insert cd, open brasero, select burn & navigate to iso.

My guess is that tar file contains source for building a grub on your system.

Few people would build it but see this for a way to make your tar file and install it.

Thanks for the replies!

I currently don't have a installed system that has grub 2 installed.
Can I remove grub .97 and manually install grub 2 so I can burn a rescue disk? Mageia's MCC does not allow it but I assume I can do it CLI. I don't think that grub .97 has mkrescue. Do I need any grub files on the O.S to boot or is it all externally done if I manually boot with grub?

[root@localhost kbs]# grub --help
