How to install burg bootloader in ubuntu 20.04?

Tried many ways, but it seems a dead end.

Tried the installation method for Ubuntu 16.04 but it keeps giving errors.

I just installed burg on Ubuntu 20.04 this week and it works well. It is meant for PCs with BIOS - Not for UEFI Installations!

1. Download burg files - Do not use synaptic !
   I got the files from: https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/ubuntu/burg/+packages They are:

   burg-common_1.98+20100623-2.3_amd64.deb (1021.8 KiB) 
   burg-emu_1.98+20100623-2.3_amd64.deb (1.3 MiB) 
   burg-pc_1.98+20100623-2.3_amd64.deb (683.5 KiB) 
   burg_1.98+20100623-2.3_amd64.deb (9.5 KiB) 
   burg-themes-common_1.98+20100623-2_all.deb (3.4 MiB)
   burg-themes_1.98+20100623-2_all.deb (6.4 MiB)
   

2. Install dependencies.
   In terminal:

   sudo apt-get install base-files dpkg libfreetype6 zlib1g gettext-base libncurses5 libsdl1.2debian debconf
   

3. Install the burg packages.
   Move all 6 of them into an empty folder. Inside that folder open terminal and install with:

   sudo dpkg -i *.deb
   

   It will ask where to install it to: /dev/sda or /dev/sdb
   I answered the drive that hasn't got a bootlader yet. It is safe to do if you have two hard drives.
   Say you are using grub on /dev/sda; then we install burg to /dev/sdb

   In my case this needed to be done again before reboot In terminal:

   sudo burg-install /dev/sdb
   

4. Update burg.
   In terminal:

   sudo update-burg
   

5. Test with Burg Emulator.
   In terminal:

   burg-emu  
   

   Now we see the result as we see it at the boot-up screen. My first test showed only text like grub.
   It finally showed a graphical screen when I copied all 200 files from the newly installed folder:

   /usr/lib/burg/i386-pc/ to folder: /boot/burg/   
   

   And then did the update command again:

   sudo update-burg
   

   I also have a folder in /boot/burg/ called: locale, which I copied from a previous burg install in xenial. It contains: de.mo en_AU.mo en_CA.mo en_GB.mo
   It looks like it had been compiled by an application as these are the languages I installed.

   Somehow there must be another burg command to use that I missed out on.
   Anyway it works for me; I'm very pleased

6. Setup BIOS.
   Then after installation, we reboot and go into the BIOS > Boot Order and set it to /dev/sdb

7. The result.
   If it works you can change the theme via the F2 key. It is better not to touch the F3 key resolution.
   If it doesn't work we can always change the BIOS boot order to as it was before.

I created a couple of themes and new icons. I intend to publish on my site page: https://www.pling.com/u/fenario/ Check it out in a week or so

In the meantime you can get my burg folder and pick what you need

My whole folder: /boot/burg/ is available for download at:

It contains my themes and new icon classes
