memtest86+ (1.11-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fixed --memtest option in make-memtest86+-boot-floppy.
   * Integrated changes from Martin Koeppe in
     make-memtest86+-boot-floppy:
     * use mtools to write into floppy image without being root
     * cannot select filesystem type anymore, msdos only (who cares ?)
     * put full GRUB on floppy to be able to install on harddisk
   * Removed internal parameter for fd0, since that booting floopy is
     always fd0 (if not, tell me).  That settles the potential problem with
     linux/grub device names mapping: there's no problem.
   * When writing to a real device, use a temporary image file and dd it as
     a last step, so that mtools synchronous writes do not slow down things.
