following your excellent instruction I installed grml-medium on a USB-stick thus eliminating the need to insert the grml CD whenever I want to do some minor data manipulations. For backing up partitions I use partimage, but unfortunately this program is not included in grml-medium. I have to "apt-get update" and "apt-get install partimage" each time I want to use it. Is there a way to permanently install this program (or any other) on the USB-stick?
Run:
apt-get --download-only --print-uris install parted
and download the Debian packages and place them on your USB stick. Then you can easily install it without network access as well.
A "full persistency" feature is on our todo list.
If you want to create your very own grml-medium version just check out grml-live -> http://grml.org/grml-live/
