553 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
554 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

574 * Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base
575 directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
576 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
577 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
578 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
579 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
580 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
581 * Use 'pci=nomsi' in failsafe bootoption. Thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt.
582 * Mention the --syslinux option if grub-install fails.
583 * Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to
584 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
585 * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
586 * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
587 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

593 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
594 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
595 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
596 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
597 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
598 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
599 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
600 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
601 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
602 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
603 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
604 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
605 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
606 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
607 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
608 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
609 pens don't need that option).
610 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
612 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
613 * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).
614 * Fix creation and installation of grub1's configuration file (menu.lst).

623 matter which bootloader the users chooses.
624 * Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
625 if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
627 * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
628 * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
629 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
630 * Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
631 removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
632 * Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
634 * Use 'forensic' and 'readonly' in the forensic bootoption itself.
635 * Spelling fixes (thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org>).
636 * Write GRUB2 config even if the target is a directory (thanks, Thorsten)
637 * All these "set root=" are not needed for GRUB2 (thanks, Thorsten)
638 * Switch order of check whether the specified device is a directory
639 and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
641 * Add grml2iso for creating a bootable DVD:
642 - thanks once more to Thorsten Glaser for helping and patches
643 - thanks to Ernesto Domato for reporting the issue regarding
644 i386<->amd64 with grub-mkimage
645 * Move syslinux check to install_syslinux_mbr()
646 * Drop the reference to --grub option (thanks for the bugreport
648 * Update documentation:
649 - mention the dd approach
651 - improve section link names for the online version
652 - add 'grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem'
653 * Support use with python version 2.4.
654 * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).
655 * Depend on debhelper >=5 (using compat version 5).

684 * Catch exception if copying files fails.

686 * Integrate hdt (Hardware Detection Tool) in bootsplash (but
