So it would become:

| config.d => restore all tbz. files from directory /cdrom/config.d/

Thinking into the future, after this is done, if I want to exclude the /var/lib/dpkg/ from the CD and put it as /cdrom/config.d/00var.lib.dpkg.tbz, is it a good idea?

The reason that I want to do it is that, the /var/lib/dpkg/ directory alone is about 80~90M, which is rather expensive for the 50M grml-small. However, if I do that, I am worry about the memory limitation, because grml don't mount any swap partitions by default, what if I need to run such configured grml on a 128M memory PC?
