Good question. I followed the links from the http://www.gnu.org site and
found a large number of tarballs at <ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub>.

I chose the one with the highest verstion right at the bottom of the
page. It didn't matter much, since I was only downloading it to take
a look at the contents of the tarball.. I was not planning to install
it: since I run debian or ubuntu.. I do not normally install anything
off of tarballs.

Right, but like Bruce said, this file is not part of grub-pc alias
grub2. But come to think of it, I can't recall creating a bootable CD or
DVD on that ubuntu system where I have grub2 setup. 

I guess I need to take a (much) closer look.. 

Thanks,
