1 grml2usb (0.9.10) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
3 * Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base
4 directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
5 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
6 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
7 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
8 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
9 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!

13 grml2usb (0.9.9) unstable; urgency=low
15 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
16 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
17 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
18 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
19 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
20 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
21 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
22 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
23 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
24 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
25 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
26 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
27 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
28 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
29 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
30 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
31 pens don't need that option).
32 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
34 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
35 * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).
36 * Fix creation and installation of grub1's configuration file (menu.lst).
37 Thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe.

51 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.

106 * Catch exception if copying files fails.
107 * Make sure to exit if installing grub fails.
108 * Integrate hdt (Hardware Detection Tool) in bootsplash (but
109 only if using syslinux as grub isn't supported).

146 * Rewrote grml2usb from scratch (in python). New features:
147 - you no longer need to setup the device via /etc/fstab, just
148 directly invoke "grml2usb /path/to/iso /dev/sdb1"
149 - initial multi-iso / multi-boot support
