a while ago i bought one of the nice 32/64bit dual usb keys and since it is now a bit outdated (the version is from the beginning of 2010 or so) i would like to update it, but i haven't found a procedure in the wiki or anywhere else...and i would like to avoid having to do to much reading of docs and/or doing it by trial and error the hard way.
can anybody point me in the right direction?
Same question I wanted to ask since 2010.12 came out (as I also have one of these shiny grml.org usb-keys with 2010.04~rc-something on it).
After searching the grml-wiki (after your trigger - thx!) I found this:
[1] http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb&s=usb [2] http://grml.org/grml2usb/
So it seems that downloading both ISOs (32bit/64bit) and
% grml2usb ${GRML64BIT_ISO} ${GRML32BIT_ISO} ${USBDEVICE_PARTITION}
should do the trick. The usb-stick should be partitioned and formatted mit fat16 (or you can use the "--fat16" option).
According to [3] everything else[tm] (e.g. memtest, freedos) should be on the stick automatically.

Please be aware that I have not tested it (yet). Please tell me if that worked! (Or if anyone knows better, let me know.)
