655 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
656 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
657 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
658 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
659 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
660 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
661 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
662 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
663 correct grml.png is used.
664 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
665 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
666 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
668 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
669 initrd are not present.
670 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
671 question of mtools by syslinux.
672 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
673 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
674 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

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

707 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

714 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.

716 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
717 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
718 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
719 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
720 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
721 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
722 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
723 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
724 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
725 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
726 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
727 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
728 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
729 pens don't need that option).
730 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
732 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
