In short, I am asking, what is the recommended way to remaster grml 2008.11 with grml2008.11 as build environment ?
No need for manual actions, grml provides all the relevant stuff for remastering out-of-the-box. :)
That is fantastic - and it even works :-) Another question related to remastering grml. I want to install apps inside the unsquashfs filesystem of the grml-to-be-remastered. So I would use chroot and then for example apt-get. This works fine. However, when I want to configure the desktop ( for ex. fluxbox) inside the chroot, then I have to run grml-x as root , which is not supported. What is the recommended way to chroot to grml-to-be-remastered as a normal user, in order to remaster user related stuff inside chroot ? schroot ?
Do NOT execute any manual commands inside the buil-chroot, this tends to lead to an unmaintainable system pretty soon. ;)
Instead copy files as needed from outside the chroot to the chroot, preferably writing your own /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/ script. (Just check out the existing ones, it's fairly simple using $target & CO.)
