Grabbing the source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
no matter which grub version is available on the host where grml2usb is
executed on.
+grub-install fails with 'The file ../boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly"?!
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Check whether the partition has the right partition type. For example do NOT use
+FAT16 (partition type 6) when using a ext3 filesystem on the partition but
+instead use the correct partition type ('83' - Linux) then.
+
Why do I have to use a FAT16 filesystem?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I've got a really cool idea!

-Please <<X7,report it to the author>>. Or even better: send us a patch. :)
+Great! Please check out
+link:http://git.grml.org/?p=grml2usb.git;a=blob;f=TODO;hb=HEAD[the TODO file].
+Feel free to <<X7,report your wishes to the author>>. Patches highly
+appreciated.
I've problems with booting from USB.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Install specified ISO on device /dev/sdb1 and use syslinux as bootloader
(instead of grub being the default).
