Hello and thank you to the grml team. With the help of a friend here I have grml running nicely on a pendrive, I was even fortunate enough to have a laptop that had 1 of 3 supported wireless cards, just have to tpe dhclient and speechd-up after bootup
Great to hear.
How much like a normal linux install is grml now that I have it running on a pendrive.
It's Debian unstable plus some extra packages.
Have any users tried installing extra packages?
Of course you can install additional software, as it's Debian. You have full access to the Debian software pool. "aptitude update ; aptitude install $PACKAGE"
Maybe we could consider a larger image specifically for pendrive users with more programs installed.
With "more programs installed" you mean compared to grml-small? A grml-usb version is on the todolist. I have an unofficial version of grml-usb available on my developer box (about 240MB ISO) but currently I don't have the time to spend even more work on another flavour of grml.
Have a question though, How can I change the keyboard to Dvorak.
Run 'loadkeys i386/dvorak/' and press the tab-key to get a list of possible keymaps. Use the power of zsh! :)
