Hi I am not sure that I understand the instructions for remastering the grml live cd ( old method, not FAI). The man page for grml-live says: Please use squashfs-lzma-tools 3.3.1 if you want to remaster release 2008.11 of grml.
I want to remaster the medium flavor. As far as I can see from uname -a , grml 2008 is kernel 2.6.26. However, here http://www.squashfs-lzma.org/it is said that only version 2.6.27.6 is officially supported.
Also , I was wondering, if this instruction does still apply to grml 2008.11
wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/squashfs/squashfs2.2-r2.tar.gz $ tar xvzf squashfs2.2-r2.tar.gz $ cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build $ patch -p1 --dry-run < /usr/src/squashfs2.2-r2/linux-2.X.Y/squashfs2.2-patch
In short, I am asking, what is the recommended way to remaster grml 2008.11 with grml2008.11 as build environment ?
Thanks for your help
Peter

No need for manual actions, grml provides all the relevant stuff for remastering out-of-the-box. :)
The documentation regarding squashfs is mainly interesting if you want to build on non-grml systems or when remastering/building older/newer grml versions. It's meant to be a reference for people encountering any problems with building.

That is fantastic - and it even works :-) Another question related to remastering grml. I want to install apps inside the unsquashfs filesystem of the grml-to-be-remastered. So I would use chroot and then for example apt-get. This works fine. However, when I want to configure the desktop ( for ex. fluxbox) inside the chroot, then I have to run grml-x as root , which is not supported. What is the recommended way to chroot to grml-to-be-remastered as a normal user, in order to remaster user related stuff inside chroot ? schroot ?
Thank for any help. Peter

Do NOT execute any manual commands inside the buil-chroot, this tends to lead to an unmaintainable system pretty soon. ;)
Instead copy files as needed from outside the chroot to the chroot, preferably writing your own /etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/ script. (Just check out the existing ones, it's fairly simple using $target & CO.)
