I know that you can install grml easily on a usb flash drive and was wondering if grml has any special options for flash drives installation, as, from my understanding, flash drives have a limited number of write and erase cycles before failure. Does grml allow you to write all hard disk changes to RAM (in a ramdisk) and then allow you to either commit these changes when closing your session? Does grml have any flash-friendly options? Thanks for your help.
All write actions are redirected to the ramdisk by default, just check out what's unionfs/aufs and how it's used if you are interested in the details. If you search for persistent root (configuration for example can be stored already using the config framework: http://grml.org/config/): that's on our todo list.
