Well, what I ended up doing is passing the "mypath=/home/grml/persistent" parameter to grml2usb.

export ISO=grml64-full_2013.09.iso export GRML=/dev/sdb1 grml2usb --bootoptions="persistence" --bootoptions="mypath=/home/grml/persistent" "${ISO}" "${GRML}"

I then copied my script to /home/grml/persistent/. So now after booting the grml usb stick, I can just type the script name. I think I could probably have passed a different bootoption to run the script but it is an install script and I figured this is safer. Anyway, the combination of persistence and bootoptions did the trick.

I can't find any documentation on what persistence can do for me. What can I do with it? What I need to do is create a flash drive that runs a script upon boot. Can I do that?

I created a flash drive with persistence but now I'm not sure how to use it.

Without going into full details: "persistence" and "running a script upon boot" are two different features.

Take a look at:

and look for "grml scripts" in
