125 * Support adding additional isos to existing grml2usb installation.
126 * grml2iso supports new grml2usb using syslinux now.
129 * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
130 Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
131 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
132 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
133 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
134 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
135 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
136 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
137 correct grml.png is used.
138 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
139 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
140 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
142 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
143 initrd are not present.
144 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
145 question of mtools by syslinux.
146 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
147 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
148 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

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

177 * Fix usage of --force in combination with --fat16. Thanks to
178 Johannes Endres and Reiko Kaps for the bugreport.
179 * Replace hint to '--grub' with 'grub'.
180 * New option --grub-mbr which allows installation of grub in MBR instead
181 of installation into a partition (PBR) which is necessary when using grub2.

187 * Use ascii.pf2 as grub2 font, since grub2 (1.96+20090307-1)
188 the old ascii.pff isn't available anymore.
189 * Use terminal_output if available, otherwise fallback to old
190 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
191 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
192 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
193 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
194 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
195 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
196 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
197 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
198 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
199 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
200 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
201 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
202 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
203 pens don't need that option).
204 * Change the way MirOS bsd4grml is loaded (use the fallback method
206 * Improve descriptions of grml's grub2 entries.
207 * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no further changes).

221 * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
222 * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
223 available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.

225 removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
