Dear M and friends,
Okay, I am trying to accomplish the following and would like a little help, although I realise I should not ask here:
1. When using debian pure on a partition I can merely chroot /thatpartition and apt-get, install, and so. I am never able to do this in a grml install, which means that if I want to install grml on partition /blah, I have to be running it in order to work in it, which is a waste of time.
2. More importantly, I need fast boot times on the laptops. I built kernel no raid, no shit, in other words, the hardware for the laptop, plus any conceivable thing that one could plug in. Got rid of every reference in autoconfig and runlevel.conf that I can imagine, and it still seeks the raid array, and, since I had no modules, boot up takes just as long, with the result that the modules are not found. I want to make it so that there is no reference anywhere to any possible raid issue, and get rid of that ten second lilo delay as well, as I do not need it, since I am always able to boot into grml. Likewise, most laptops have had no floppy drive for at least two years. fd0 does not exist, never did, never will, why load the module, or if blacklisted, why seek to seek it?
