Using GRML2HD in a productive environment...
How would GRML2hd be used in an productive environment necessarily? I'm curious about that. Also, in grml, if installed onto the hard-drive, I assume that I do not need to manually edit the network interfaces file owing to the use of the grml-netcard or grml-network scripts? The other question, is this. I have an Internet domain that I want GRML to be able to resolve to an IP address, or at least realize that the domain exists. So, hear is my question. What happens in grml if I add to resolv.conf: search "domain.org" without quotations, (assuming) that domain.org existed? The second question relating to resolv.conf, is how could I keep DHCP from overighting it? Thanks. Regards, --Keith

What exactly do you want to know? How should the usage differ from non-productive (home?) environment?

Yes. grml-network IIRC.

You should have a Nameserver for your domain, so that should have nothing to do with grml. Or am I missing anything?

AFAIK this will only add a domain.org to any non-fully-qualified hostnames. Search for "foo" and it will add domain.org => foo.domain.org

As every other Linux distri too. Why should there be a difference?

This is done by a DNS Server. DNS means "Domain Name Services". This service translates a domain name into an IP address. It is provided by a "name server".
So, hear is my question. What happens in grml if I add to resolv.conf: search "domain.org" without quotations, (assuming) that domain.org existed?
No, this works in another way. For example, if you enter "ping foo" and a machine named "foo" is not known to your host, it will search again, this time for a host "foo.domain.org". It may happen that this is not known to your host either...
The DNS server normally is provided by DHCP (by most providers). If it is not, or your "Internet domain" is not known by your dhcp server (which you can test by "dig foo", you will get a verbose answer telling you - among other info - what name server is answering), you can add the IP addresses to your /etc/hosts file like 192.168.192.7 foo.domain.org foo
