History

Wesley Wiedenmeier 2cfe2ffe71 Added support for more advanced booting with grub2 - installer/geninstaller: when -b grub2 flag is given, installs grub2 using grub-install, copies installer/resources/grub/grub.cfg onto target - installer/resources/grub/grub.cfg: grub configuration that in addition to having a menuentry for the installer, scans all partitions on the system other than the one it is running from for linux installations and creates menuentries for the other installations as well, to deal with potential situations where the user reboots the system after installing but does not remove the installation disk		2015-07-08 14:21:42 -05:00
