Hi,
I'm new to grml-live & fai. I don't understand why fai needs its own
sources.list file. Since it will be really rarely for people to choose
different mirrors from there preferred ones. Can we configure one less file
(/etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list), telling grml-live to use the official
/etc/apt/sources.list by default instead?
,-----
| To avoid downloading the base system again and again check out FAI's NFSROOT
`-----
This is another point that I don't understand the fai's philosophy. The
"normal" Debian will cache the downloaded packages. Removing and installing
a package again and again won't cause the very package to be downloaded
again and again. Why fai behaves this way? Are the package downloaded by fai
cached at the official place?
Thanks, and for the excellent grml-live BTW.

Hi,
I found that there is no way to specify a local configuration for
grml-live. I.e., I have to mess with /etc/grml/grml-live.conf file in
order to configure anything, or rely on the limited command line. I know
the grml-live is still not a finished product yet. So I hope in the
final release, there is way for people to have their local configuration
files. The benefits:
- people don't need to mess with the official /etc/grml/grml-live.conf file
- no need to deal with it manually when grml-live package updates.
- local configuration file will only hold settings different from the
official file
- people can have different configuration files
- all /usr/share/grml-live/buildd/grml-live_autobuild_xxx.sh files
can be combined to one shell script, with difference in the configuration
file used only. This is much more maintainable.
thanks

Hi,
Where's the write up on how to setup grml repositories?
Being with grml for so long, I just realized that I can't find any write up
on how to setup grml repositories. Here is my existing setting:
$ grep grml-stable /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.grml.org/ grml-stable main
deb-src http://deb.grml.org/ grml-stable main
but I can't find the newest grml-live:
$ apt-cache search grml-live
plz help. thx

Hi mika:
On seeing that grml is providing a grml-medium edition, I checked it out
immediately.
However I found that grml-medium still does not including X. Mika, please
please include X in grml-medium, and grml-x & firefox too. Otherwise,
there is no much reason for people to prefer grml-medium, because it will
be just grml_small plus some extra packages, which I see no obvious reason
that I can't install them myself.
thanks

Hi,
quick question:
Is the control file for class REMOVE_DOCS released in grml-live v0.0.8?
I found the class in
/usr/share/grml-live/buildd/grml-live_autobuild_grml-small_sid.sh
thanks

Hello all,
Last weekend I talked to some of the grml devs about building my own
kernel with Ingo Molnar's rt-preempt patch, CONFIG_HZ=1000, and
fully-preemptable kernel turned on. (Additionally I was hoping to use
the linux-live scripts (www.linux-live.org), which require aufs +
squashfs to be built into the kernel.) So far, I have failed. I
would like to request that someone much smarter than me in the grml
team do this and make it an available kernel in the grml repos. Or,
if you could provide me some additional help (tutoring, perhaps) with
building a kernel with these features in "the grml way", I would be
happy to do the work and contribute back to the grml community.
For context, my primary goal is to have a liveCD competely customized
for me to use on gigs with the various groups I play with. For
example, this liveCD would be very, very lean, would have all of my
patches, synthesizers, etc. already programmed and ready, plus any
scripts I might use, etc.
Thank you,

Dear M and friends,
In order to test out a version of hplip for a new set of peripherals, I
had to remove file-rc, which I have back now.
How do I make the system boot using runlevel.conf again, so I am back in
control?
Best,
M
Hi!
I'm proud to be able to announce the availability of daily snapshots
of grml.
This service is based on the grml-live framework (see
http://grml.org/grml-live/ for details) and besides a new grml
flavour we are currently working on (known as grml-medium) we also
provide Debian/stable based grml-ISOs for the first time to the
public. All the flavours are available in a 32bit version as well
as a 64bit version, so you can choose from 12 different ISOs at
total on a daily base.
More details are available at:
http://grml.supersized.org/archives/269-Daily-grml-snapshots.html
The daily snapshots can be found at:
http://daily.grml.org/
Enjoy grml!
regards,
-mika-

Hi all,
I am quite new to GRML (and Debian/Knoppix based distributions).
However, I have some experience with other Linux distris.
So recently I got a virtual appliance with Grml installed already.
One of the first things was to use apt-get (first attempt) and
aptitude (second attempt) to upgrade all upgradable packages.
The results was the same:
I could not boot anymore. The only thing that appears is 'GRUB'
without any further error message.
I have spent two days already to figure out what happens. I have
seen reports about similar errors when updating ubuntu versions.
The reason was a switch from hdX to sdX (and a mismatch of the UUIDs).
I checked all that: UUIDs are fine. And even with the device names the
symptoms are the same.
I then tried to reinstall GRUB. The installation process yielded no
errors (the menu.lst and the device map are fine). Nevertheless
I get the same error :-(
Then I thought: Maybe it's only a GRUB problem and tried LILO. With
lilo I get some more information, but also the boot process stops very
early. I get error messages about some modules that cannot be loaded.
(I currently have no access and, thus, cannot type the exact error message here.)
I am wondering whether this has something to do with the
linux-kernel-header-grml package which apt-get/aptitude were keen to
remove?
I am also wondering: I surely am not the only one who ever upgraded
a GRML 1.0 system, or? Did noone ever encountered a similar problem?
I appreciate every hint which might bring me closer to a solution
of this most annoying problem.
Thanks in advance,
Jan
