This question was recently asked on the list. Apparently, GRML is now focused on being a rescue/recovery environment, not a general-purpose Linux distribution. The recommendation is to install Debian, which you can do after booting your GRML distribution, of course, by running grml-debootstrap.
I installed GRML to hardrive on a laptop a while back (grml-version tells me "grml 2011.05 Release Codename Just Mari [2011.05.29]). I've been doing the regular `aptitude dist-upgrade` with the official Debian repository ( http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ ), am currently running the 3.2.0-3-686-pae kernel, etc...so AFAIK it's more or less an up-to-date Debian Sid. It's been working fine, but given that installing grml to hardrive is not recommended or supported, I'm wondering if I should convert my system over to straight-up Debian and how complicated that might be. An `aptitude purge grml` will remove the grml package, but I'm not sure that really does much in this regard.
TIA for any clarification,
John
