+ * Sync and add grml2usb-compat to grml2usb package. This simplifies

+grml2usb (0.9.13) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ [ Ulrich Dangel ]
+ * Modified syslinux configuration handling to generate new vesa
+ menu entries.
+ * Support adding additional isos to existing grml2usb installation.
+ * grml2iso supports new grml2usb using syslinux now.
+
+ [ Michael Prokop ]
+ * Update documentation regarding syslinux and FAT32 (thanks to
+ Stefan Traby <stefan@hello-penguin.com> for the hint).
+ * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
+ - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
+ a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
+ backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
+ code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
+ - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
+ correct grml.png is used.
+ - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
+ * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
+ * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
+ his future[tm] work.
+ * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
+ initrd are not present.
+ * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
+ question of mtools by syslinux.
+ * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
+ * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
+ add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

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

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

+grml2usb (0.9.8) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Support installation on /dev/loop*-devices.
+ * Generate configuration for syslinux and grub by default, no
+ matter which bootloader the users chooses.
+ * Added options --skip-syslinux-config and --skip-grub-config
+ if someone wants to skip the generation of any bootloader
+ configuration files.
+ * Make sure grub-install is available before executing it.
+ * Display information about default grml flavour and the other
+ available grml flavours at the end of the grml2usb run.
+ * Use /sbin/blkid (e2fsprogs) instead of vol_id as vol_id is going to be
+ removed from udev. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
+ * Use rsync instead of cp. Thanks for the patch to Andras Korn!
+ [Closes: issue683]
+ * Use 'forensic' and 'readonly' in the forensic bootoption itself.
+ * Spelling fixes (thanks to Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org>).
+ * Write GRUB2 config even if the target is a directory (thanks, Thorsten)
+ * All these "set root=" are not needed for GRUB2 (thanks, Thorsten)
+ * Switch order of check whether the specified device is a directory
+ and check for usb device (as the usb device check will fail if
+ it's a directory).
+ * Add grml2iso for creating a bootable DVD:
+ - thanks once more to Thorsten Glaser for helping and patches
+ - thanks to Ernesto Domato for reporting the issue regarding
+ i386<->amd64 with grub-mkimage
+ * Move syslinux check to install_syslinux_mbr()
+ * Drop the reference to --grub option (thanks for the bugreport
+ to Peter Palfrader)
+ * Update documentation:

+ - mention grml2iso
+ - improve section link names for the online version
+ - add 'grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem'
+ * Support use with python version 2.4.
+ * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).
+ * Depend on debhelper >=5 (using compat version 5).
