And what is the reason for using grml-small instead of the new grml-full? USB sticks typically have more then 350mb, if you want to use the ISO image on /boot in combination with grml-rescueboot you can mount a LVM LV over /boot/grml and use that.
Loading an 350 MB image to RAM takes considerably more time than an 130 MB image. Additionally, on my typically 1 GB large boot, I was able to place to grml-small images in addition to the normal /bot contents. I was already forced to resize /boot on my notebook because of grmls size increase.
That being said, i think that we maybe should/can reintroducde grml-small.
Pretty please.
Removing packages from a package list should result in less problems than adding new ones. But first we must get rid of grml-small specific hacks (IMHO).
The grml-small specific hacks were necessary to make grml-small fit on a business card CD. I haven't used that form factor in years and could live without.
