686 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
687 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
688 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
689 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
690 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
691 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
692 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
693 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
694 correct grml.png is used.
695 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
696 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
697 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
699 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
700 initrd are not present.
701 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
702 question of mtools by syslinux.
703 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
704 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
705 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

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

735 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.

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

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

747 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
748 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
749 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
750 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
751 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
752 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
753 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
754 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
755 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
756 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
757 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
758 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
759 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
760 pens don't need that option).
761 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
763 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.

776 if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
778 * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
779 * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
780 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
