- how would bootid work with integrating multiple-grml on the same
USB?
grml2usb takes care of it. Basically the process is: If no /conf/bootid.txt is present, generate a random id and write it to /conf/bootid.txt. Read /conf/bootid.txt and adjust the bootid parameter for every specified iso.
Thanks for the reply.
OK, if I build my own flavour of grml via grml-live, and I want to install it to the same USB key that an official flavour of grml has been installed, would it be possible?
According to the above, it seems impossible to me because there is only one /conf/bootid.txt file on the USB key and the content in mine would be different than the official one.
grml2usb generates the bootid for you, so it's supposed to "just work" for your own flavour of grml. If it doesn't work it's a bug.
Sorry I still don't get it.
Say when grml2usb installing grml-small and generates a bootid of grml- small-123. Then when grml2usb installing my own flavour of grml, it generates another bootid of my-own-456. Now grml-small expect that the bootid is grml-small-123, and mine being my-own-456. My understand is that only one of them can boot now. which part I've figured wrong?
Thanks
