Hi all,
GRML works fine on a small Intel D525 CPU box with NVidia GT-218 graphics, much more stable than the nouveaufb driver in some Ubuntu versions. I'm using an older GRML 2013.02 release, just don't feel like backing up all data and to re-run grml-to-harddisk again.
Some questions on system customization:
1.) The pre-configured zsh shell immediately shares entered commands and it's history among all open instances. I use to reserve dedicated terminals to particular commands. For example, man pages are always opened on tty5. Instead of retrieving the last or last but one "man" command from the history, zsh shows all commands from other ttys first. No real feature. How to configure a more bashish behaviour? BTW, is there any relationship between this zsh (developed since 1992 by Paul Falstad and others) and the zsh shell in NextStep?
2.) How to disable the awesome Debian automounter for removable media? It keeps from mounting USB sticks or optical media to individual mount points, but requires to manually unmount automatic /media/xxx mount points first ...
3.) Which is the most elegant, i.e. recommended way to start the X server upon GRML boot? As "init 3" doesn't work, I currently need to manually execute "/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/startlxde &" from a tty. Where to place this string, into which startup script?
4.) Both Fluxbox and LXDE start with english keyboard layout by default. I gladly discovered the "setxkbmap -layout <lang>" command. Can anyone tell me whether this setting is saved persistently, i.e. still active after reboot? (Won't restart for testing, GRML box 32 days uptime now.)
