## Development notes

[link]

- 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.
