254 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
255 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
256 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
257 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
258 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
259 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
260 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
261 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
262 correct grml.png is used.
263 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
264 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
265 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
267 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
268 initrd are not present.
269 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
270 question of mtools by syslinux.
271 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
272 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
273 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

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

303 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.

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

312 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
313 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
314 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
315 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
316 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
317 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
318 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
319 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
320 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
321 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
322 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
323 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
324 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
325 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
326 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
327 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
328 pens don't need that option).
329 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
331 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
332 * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).

342 matter which bootloader the users chooses.
343 * Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
344 if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
346 * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
347 * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
348 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
349 * Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
350 removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
351 * Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!

358 and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
