Hi,

i believe i have found a bug in (otherwise great :-) GRML distribution.

*
* Steps to reproduce the problem
*

1. Download grml64-full_2013.02.iso
2. Create bootable USB stick with grml2usb tool using syslinux
3. Use it to boot amd64 system

*
* Expected behaviour
*

4. After some timeout, there should be a default option ('grml') and it
should boot

*
* Actual behaviour
*

5. No timeout is defined, waits for user input to manually select an option
(not very handy with servers)

6. As it seems, current grm2usb script has an error

$ diff /usr/sbin/grml2usb /usr/sbin/grml2usb~
1387c1387
<     syslinux_config_file.write("timeout 300\n")
---
>     syslinux_config_file.write("TIMEOUT 300\n")

Problem is that "TIMEOUT" is given with uppercase letters; change to
lowercase and you are fine.

*
* Your system configuration (run grml-hwinfo)
*

See attachment.

*
* Software versions (try foo --version or dpkg -l foo)
*

grml64-full_2013.02.iso
grml2usb 0.13.8 # grml2usb --version
