38 * Do not use '-' in the directory name for the linux kernel to allow
39 creating iso image from generated directory layout.
40 * Introduced --remove-bootoption in grml2usb to delete existing
42 * Added -c option to grml2iso for copying the contents of specified
43 directory to the generated iso image.

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

100 grml2usb (0.9.10) unstable; urgency=low
102 * Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base
103 directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
104 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
105 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
106 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
107 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
108 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
109 * Use 'pci=nomsi' in failsafe bootoption. Thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt.
110 * Mention the --syslinux option if grub-install fails.
111 * Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to
112 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
113 * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
114 * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
115 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

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

152 * Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
153 if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
155 * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
156 * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
157 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
158 * Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
159 removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
160 * Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
162 * Use 'forensic' and 'readonly' in the forensic bootoption itself.
163 * Spelling fixes (thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org>).
164 * Write GRUB2 config even if the target is a directory (thanks, Thorsten)
165 * All these "set root=" are not needed for GRUB2 (thanks, Thorsten)
166 * Switch order of check whether the specified device is a directory
167 and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
169 * Add grml2iso for creating a bootable DVD:
170 - thanks once more to Thorsten Glaser for helping and patches
171 - thanks to Ernesto Domato for reporting the issue regarding
172 i386<->amd64 with grub-mkimage
173 * Move syslinux check to install_syslinux_mbr()
174 * Drop the reference to --grub option (thanks for the bugreport
176 * Update documentation:

180 - add 'grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem'
181 * Support use with python version 2.4.

212 * Catch exception if copying files fails.
