75 * Modified syslinux configuration handling to generate new vesa
77 * Support adding additional isos to existing grml2usb installation.
78 * grml2iso supports new grml2usb using syslinux now.
81 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
82 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
83 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
84 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
85 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
86 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
87 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
88 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
89 correct grml.png is used.
90 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
91 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
92 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
94 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
95 initrd are not present.
96 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
97 question of mtools by syslinux.
98 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
99 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
100 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

120 * Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base
121 directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
122 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
123 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
124 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
125 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
126 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
127 * Use 'pci=nomsi' in failsafe bootoption. Thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt.
128 * Mention the --syslinux option if grub-install fails.
129 * Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to
130 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
131 * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
132 * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
133 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

139 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
140 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
141 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
142 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
143 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
144 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
145 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
146 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
147 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
148 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
149 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
150 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
151 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
152 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
153 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
154 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
155 pens don't need that option).
156 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
158 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
159 * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).
160 * Fix creation and installation of grub1's configuration file (menu.lst).

170 * Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
171 if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
173 * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
174 * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
175 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
176 * Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
177 removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
178 * Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
180 * Use 'forensic' and 'readonly' in the forensic bootoption itself.
181 * Spelling fixes (thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org>).
182 * Write GRUB2 config even if the target is a directory (thanks, Thorsten)
183 * All these "set root=" are not needed for GRUB2 (thanks, Thorsten)

185 and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
