Remove specified bootoption (could be a regex) from existing boot options. Use
multiple entries for removing different bootoptions at once.
+ *\--skip-bootflag*::
+
+Do not check for presence of bootflag on target device.
+
*\--skip-grub-config*::
Skip generation of grub configuration files. By default the configuration
files for syslinux *and* grub will be written so you've a working configuration
file no matter whether you're using grub or syslinux as bootloader.
+ *\--skip-usb-check*::
+
+Skip check to verify whether given device is a removable device.
+Some USB devices are known to report wrong information, when using
+such a device you can skip grml2usb's removable device check.

*\--syslinux*::
This option is deprecated and is being left only for backwards compatibility
Finally create a filesystem and execute grml2usb as needed:
# mkfs.vfat /dev/loop1
- # grml2usb --bootloader-only /grml/isos/grml-small_2013.01.iso /dev/loop1
+ # grml2usb --bootloader-only /grml/isos/grml64-small_2018.12.iso /dev/loop1

This allows you to dd the Grml ISO to your USB device (use for example
link:http://www.chrysocome.net/rawwrite[rawwrite] if you've just a Windows
system available) running:
- % dd if=grml_2013.01.iso of=/dev/sdX
+ % dd if=grml64-full_2018.12.iso of=/dev/sdX
where /dev/sdX is your USB device. Of course this doesn't provide such a
flexible system like with grml2usb (no multi-ISO setup, no additional default
