Release 20140221 (4th release)

  • 21st February 2014

Officially supported

  • ThinkPad X60
  • ThinkPad X60s

Development notes

  • Removed SeaBIOS (redundant)
  • New GRUB version (2.02~beta2)
    • Fixes some USB issues
    • Includes ISOLINUX/SYSLINUX parser
  • New grub.cfg
  • Removed useless options:
    • options for booting sda 2/3/4
    • seabios boot option
  • Added new menu entries:
    • Parse ISOLINUX config (USB)
    • Parse ISOLINUX config (CD)
    • Added 'cat' module for use on GRUB command line.
  • "set pager=1" is set in grub.cfg, for less-like functionality

The "Parse" options read ./isolinux/isolinux.cfg on a CD or USB, and automatically converts it to a grub config and switches to the boot menu of that distro. This makes booting ISOs *much* easier than before.
