TODO
----
+* install memtest, dos, grub,... to /boot/addons/
+* copy grml files to /grml/
+* implement missing options (--grub, --kernel, --initrd, --squashfs, --uninstall)
* code improvements:
- - improve error handling :)
- - get rid of all TODOs in code :)
+ - improve error handling wherever possible :)
+ - get rid of all TODOs in code
- use 'with open("...", "w") as f: ... f.write("...")'
- - simplify functions/code as much as possible -> audit
-* implement missing options (--kernel, --initrd, --uninstall,...)
-* validate partition schema/layout: is the partition schema ok and the bootable flag set?
+ - simplify functions/code as much as possible (move stuff to further functions) -> audit
+* validate partition schema/layout: is the partition schema ok and the bootable flag set? (--validate?)
* implement logic for storing information about copied files -> register every file in a set()
* the last line in bootsplash (boot.msg) should mention all installed grml flavours
-* extend flavour's syslinux configuration
-* graphical version? :)
+* graphical version? any volunteers? :)
