85 * Modified syslinux configuration handling to generate new vesa
87 * Support adding additional isos to existing grml2usb installation.
88 * grml2iso supports new grml2usb using syslinux now.
91 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
92 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
93 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
94 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
95 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
96 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
97 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
98 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
99 correct grml.png is used.
100 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
101 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
102 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
104 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
105 initrd are not present.
106 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
107 question of mtools by syslinux.
108 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
109 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
110 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

128 grml2usb (0.9.10) unstable; urgency=low
130 * Support the directory where the grml2usb script resides as base
131 directory so /usr/share/grml2usb isn't necessarily needed.
132 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
133 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
134 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
135 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.
136 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
137 * Use 'pci=nomsi' in failsafe bootoption. Thanks to Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt.
138 * Mention the --syslinux option if grub-install fails.
139 * Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to
140 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
141 * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
142 * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
143 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

149 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
150 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
151 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
152 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
153 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
154 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
155 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
156 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
157 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
158 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
159 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
160 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
161 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
162 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
163 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
164 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
165 pens don't need that option).
166 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
168 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
169 * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).
170 * Fix creation and installation of grub1's configuration file (menu.lst).
171 Thanks to Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe.

179 matter which bootloader the users chooses.
180 * Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
181 if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
183 * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
184 * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
185 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
186 * Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
187 removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
188 * Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
190 * Use 'forensic' and 'readonly' in the forensic bootoption itself.
191 * Spelling fixes (thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org>).
192 * Write GRUB2 config even if the target is a directory (thanks, Thorsten)
193 * All these "set root=" are not needed for GRUB2 (thanks, Thorsten)

195 and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
197 * Add grml2iso for creating a bootable DVD:

240 * Catch exception if copying files fails.
