213 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
214 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
215 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
216 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
217 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
218 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
219 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
220 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
221 correct grml.png is used.
222 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
223 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
224 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
226 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
227 initrd are not present.
228 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
229 question of mtools by syslinux.
230 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
231 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
232 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

254 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
255 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
256 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
257 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.

265 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

272 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.

274 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
275 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
276 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
277 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
278 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
279 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
280 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
281 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
282 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
283 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
284 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
285 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
286 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
287 pens don't need that option).
288 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
290 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
