Hi!

...

So which software repository is actually used? I have a stock debian and added the GRML repo, to have a look what´s in there. I found 29 packages and wondering now, which part of debian you are using. Is this just added to make the "pure" debian unstable a bit more convenient and userfriendly?

...

It's not perfect; nothing is. It's more perfect than stock Debian Sid, and way more up to date than Debian Stable.

Is it possible to set up grml with "testing"? Thats what i have right now, but i dont like the debian installer, and i dont want to download all the KDE-libs when choosing "desktop-install" and so on (when doin a new install on another machine). You know the hassles of the Installer :-)

You can use grml with all debian flavors. But sid is mostly used. Its just a "special" sid installation with some extra packages and extra intelligence.

But this means, that there should be some packages that need to be downgraded, or am i wrong? You put packages from Sid on the CD and modify your sources list to "testing", right? And there are no problems? Really? :-)

Debian upgrading is great and I love the APT-System - but downgrading (like e.g. with BSD´s Ports-system) isnt that cool. But ok, you are the ones who know. I think i will give it a try next time I have to set up a Debian machine.
