Hi list!
I'm using grml2usb (0.9.25) from grml repo on a Debian Squeeze system. grml2usb fails with the message
Installing syslinux as bootloader
sh: mcopy: not found
syslinux: failed to create ldlinux.sys
That's because syslinux package in Debian Squezze just 'suggests' mtools package. I filed a Bug in
Debian BTS requesting syslinux at least to recommend mtools package but it was closed... (Bug#594331
[1])
Maybe grml2usb could catch this error and give a more user friendly explanation why the command failed.
greetz, Michael
