ran with the install. So, what's grml-small's problem?
Seems you're mixing bootoptions for grml2hd with interactive mode:
[*] grml2hd partition=/dev/hdc1 mbr=/dev/hdc filesystem=ext2 \ user=keeling root=/dev/hdc1
You seem to be running this command in the shell, right? Of course it won't work then, because you specified 'partition=/dev/hdc1' as your partition instead of just '/dev/hdc1'.
Thanks, that worked. I now have grml-small installed and bootable from my existing grub. I've done "apt-get update && aptitude update && aptitude install xserver-xorg xfonts-75dpi fluxbox" and can now run X. There's lots of free space on my 2 Gb drive. :-)
I appear to have lots of broken (according to aptitude) packages. I've got the stock grml-small three lines uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list ... should I fix that somehow?
