[issue905] grml2usb: check for mtools

[Michael Prokop]

New submission from Michael Prokop <mika at grml.org>:

Reported by Michael Gissing on the grml user mailinglist:

I'm using grml2usb (0.9.25) from grml repo on a Debian Squeeze system. grml2usb 
fails with the message           

Installing syslinux as bootloader
sh: mcopy: not found
syslinux: failed to create ldlinux.sys

That's because syslinux package in Debian Squezze just 'suggests' mtools·
package. I filed a Bug in Debian BTS requesting syslinux at least to·
recommend mtools package but it was closed... (Bug#594331 [1])

Maybe grml2usb could catch this error and give a more user friendly explanation 
why the command failed.
