165 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
166 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
167 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
168 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
169 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
170 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
171 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
172 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
173 correct grml.png is used.
174 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
175 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
176 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
178 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
179 initrd are not present.
180 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
181 question of mtools by syslinux.
182 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
183 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
184 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

205 directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
206 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
207 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
208 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
209 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
210 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!

214 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
215 * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
216 * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
217 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

223 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
224 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
225 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
226 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
227 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
228 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
229 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
230 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
231 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
232 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
233 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
234 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
235 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
236 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
237 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
238 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
239 pens don't need that option).
240 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
242 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
