551 grml2usb (0.9.14) unstable; urgency=low
554 * Do not use '-' in the directory name for the linux kernel to allow
555 creating iso image from generated directory layout.
556 * Introduced --remove-bootoption in grml2usb to delete existing
557 default boot entries.
558 * Added -c option to grml2iso for copying the contents of specified
559 directory to the generated iso image.
560 * Added -b option to grml2iso for specifying additional default
564 * Sync and add grml2usb-compat to grml2usb package. This simplifies
565 installation as well as use for developers and users.
566 * Drop unnecessary header line from grml2usb script.

570 grml2usb (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
573 * Modified syslinux configuration handling to generate new vesa
575 * Support adding additional isos to existing grml2usb installation.
576 * grml2iso supports new grml2usb using syslinux now.
579 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
580 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
581 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
582 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
583 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
584 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
585 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
586 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
587 correct grml.png is used.
588 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
589 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
590 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
592 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
593 initrd are not present.
594 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
595 question of mtools by syslinux.
596 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
597 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
598 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

616 grml2usb (0.9.10) unstable; urgency=low
618 * Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base
619 directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
620 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
621 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
622 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
623 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
624 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
625 * Use 'pci=nomsi' in failsafe bootoption. Thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt.
626 * Mention the --syslinux option if grub-install fails.
627 * Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to
628 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
629 * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
630 * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
631 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

635 grml2usb (0.9.9) unstable; urgency=low
637 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
638 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
639 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
640 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
641 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
642 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
643 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
644 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
645 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
646 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
647 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
648 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
649 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
650 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
651 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
652 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
653 pens don't need that option).
654 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
656 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
657 * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).
658 * Fix creation and installation of grub1's configuration file (menu.lst).
659 Thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe.

665 * Support installation on /dev/loop*-devices.
666 * Generate configuration for syslinux and grub by default, no
667 matter which bootloader the users chooses.
668 * Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
669 if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
671 * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
672 * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
673 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
674 * Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
675 removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
676 * Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
678 * Use 'forensic' and 'readonly' in the forensic bootoption itself.
679 * Spelling fixes (thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org>).
680 * Write GRUB2 config even if the target is a directory (thanks, Thorsten)
681 * All these "set root=" are not needed for GRUB2 (thanks, Thorsten)
682 * Switch order of check whether the specified device is a directory
683 and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
685 * Add grml2iso for creating a bootable DVD:
686 - thanks once more to Thorsten Glaser for helping and patches
687 - thanks to Ernesto Domato for reporting the issue regarding
688 i386<->amd64 with grub-mkimage
689 * Move syslinux check to install_syslinux_mbr()
690 * Drop the reference to --grub option (thanks for the bugreport
692 * Update documentation:
693 - mention the dd approach
695 - improve section link names for the online version
696 - add 'grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem'
697 * Support use with python version 2.4.
698 * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).
699 * Depend on debhelper >=5 (using compat version 5).

728 * Catch exception if copying files fails.
