A question about GRML2hd, how many options can it accept at once?
Hi all, How many options is grml2hd capable of handeling at one time, Mika? I.e. Suppose I wish to disable the remove-packages-server script from running, and at the exact same time tell it to run the isntaller and install in automatic mode. So: Suppose I've set the boot_partition in /etc/grml2hd/config as /dev/hda, and the main root as /dev/hda2. Now: If I wanted to: Could I just type the following into grml2hd? NOSWREMOVAL=1 GRML2HD_NONINTERACTIVE=1 into the prompt and hit return and have it work? Or, does GRML2hd not accept that type of command structure. Mika: I have read the manual page from http://www.GRML.org/GRML2hd plentty of times, and do know the commands. I'm asking more about if grml2hd can accept multiple options at once before running it. Take a look at my example, and just let me know if that would work. What I am attempting to do, is have an automatic installation of GRML Linux, and still have all packages, all without one being removed. I have plentty of space on my disk to hold all of them, without a problem--it's 300 GB or so. That's plentty of space for what I would like to do. BTW..Marry Christmas to the grml mailing list! I'll be back tomorrow, so look forward to seeing you folks. Take care, --Keith

As it's just an environment variable you can combine them as you like.
But /usr/sbin/remove-packages-server isn't executed in non-interactive mode at all, so don't care about it.
You can furthermore tune grml2hd through /etc/grml2hd/customization - this way you can define what should be executed and what not.

It's not harddisk space but as documented in the dialog of remove-packages-server:
| Some packages are useful only for server systems. Some other | packages provide cron jobs you probably do not want to run. It is | recommended to remove those packages.
