622 * grml2iso supports new grml2usb using syslinux now.
625 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
626 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
627 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
628 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
629 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
630 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
631 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
632 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
633 correct grml.png is used.
634 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
635 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
636 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
638 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
639 initrd are not present.
640 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
641 question of mtools by syslinux.
642 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
643 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
644 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

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

674 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.

676 * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
677 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

683 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
684 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
685 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
686 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
687 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
688 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
689 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
690 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
691 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
692 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
693 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
694 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
695 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
696 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
697 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
698 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
699 pens don't need that option).
700 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
702 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
