mklivecd grub

[Ivan Kerekes]

I made the grub modification to mklivecd.
The grub function can be selected with the new
--bootloader grub parameter (which currently defaults to iso) so it
will generate isolinux if not specified.
What I didn't coded yet (would be just 3 line) to get the grub xpm
screen as a parameter.
(currently it defaults to the /boot/grub/mdv*.xpm.gz from the GRUB
rpm).

Please test it if you have a chance and let me know your opinion,
and/or suggestions for functions, preprogammed Grub-menu's and so on.

Hello,
the part of bootloader grub is wrong.
On Mandriva the right path is
/lib/grub/i386-mandriva/stage2_eltorito
and not
/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito


here my diff for mklivecd.in:

Yes, sorry Dieter I don't have a working Mandriva install, so I can't
check the palacement of grub on mandriva.
If you are hardcoding the library (as I did errorausly) you will break
PCLOS or any other distro which is placing GRUB in different directory
structure. possibly the solution would be to use a
$STAGE_2=`find /lib -name stage2_eltorito`
if [ -n "$STAGE_2"]; then
die with error message
fi
structure.
Sorry for the bash syntax, as you can tell I am no perl guy.
