22 grml2usb (0.9.10) unstable; urgency=low
24 * Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base
25 directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
26 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
27 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
28 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
29 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
30 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
31 * Use 'pci=nomsi' in failsafe bootoption. Thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt.
32 * Mention the --syslinux option if grub-install fails.
33 * Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to
34 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
35 * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
36 * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
37 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

41 grml2usb (0.9.9) unstable; urgency=low
43 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
44 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
45 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
46 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
47 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
48 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
49 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
50 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
51 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
52 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
53 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
54 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
55 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
56 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
57 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
58 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
59 pens don't need that option).
60 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
62 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
63 * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).
64 * Fix creation and installation of grub1's configuration file (menu.lst).
65 Thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe.

71 * Support installation on /dev/loop*-devices.
72 * Generate configuration for syslinux and grub by default, no
73 matter which bootloader the users chooses.
74 * Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
75 if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
77 * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
78 * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
79 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
80 * Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
81 removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
82 * Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
84 * Use 'forensic' and 'readonly' in the forensic bootoption itself.
85 * Spelling fixes (thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org>).
86 * Write GRUB2 config even if the target is a directory (thanks, Thorsten)
87 * All these "set root=" are not needed for GRUB2 (thanks, Thorsten)
88 * Switch order of check whether the specified device is a directory
89 and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
91 * Add grml2iso for creating a bootable DVD:
92 - thanks once more to Thorsten Glaser for helping and patches

94 i386<->amd64 with grub-mkimage
95 * Move syslinux check to install_syslinux_mbr()

103 * Support use with python version 2.4.
104 * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).
105 * Depend on debhelper >=5 (using compat version 5).

133 * Use 'multiboot' for booting MirOS BSD when using grub2.
134 * Catch exception if copying files fails.
135 * Make sure to exit if installing grub fails.
136 * Integrate hdt (Hardware Detection Tool) in bootsplash (but
137 only if using syslinux as grub isn't supported).

174 * Rewrote grml2usb from scratch (in python). New features:
175 - you no longer need to setup the device via /etc/fstab, just
176 directly invoke "grml2usb /path/to/iso /dev/sdb1"
