DESCRIPTION

       grub-mkrescue can be used to generate a rescue image with the GRUB bootloader.

OPTIONS

       --output=FILE
	      Write the generated file to FILE.  The default is to write to standard output.

       --modules=MODULES
	      Pre-load modules specified by MODULES.

       --install-modules=MODULES
	      Install only MODULES and their dependencies.  The default is to install all available modules.

	      Install THEMES.  The default is to install the starfield theme, if available.

       --fonts=FONTS
	      Install FONTS.  The default is to install the unicode font.

	      Install only locales listed in LOCALES.  The default is to install all available locales.

       --compress[=no,xz,gz,lzo]
	      Compress GRUB files using the specified compression algorithm.

       --directory=DIR
	      Use images and modules in DIR.

       --grub-mkimage=FILE
	      Use FILE as grub-mkimage(1).  The default is /usr/bin/grub-mkimage.

       --rom-directory=DIR

	      the i386-pc target platform.

       --     All options after a -- will be passed directly to xorriso's command line when generating the image.
