Hi,
How is grml-live officially used to create daily snapshot CDs (for amd64 grml-small & grml-medium)?
I did a test run, but got some error at the end. How can I fix it and get an ISO created?
Thanks

Check out buildd/ in grml-live's git tree, or directly install package grml-live-buildd.

grml-live -o /dev/shm -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,amd64 -s sid
^^^^^ This isn't a valid class name. That's why you didn't get a kernel:

Use AMD64 instead of amd64.

Oh, I was confused by the man page saying:

that's where I get/use the "amd64" from.

Thanks a lot. Another question, about grml-live customization,
IMHO, so far grml-live is developed mainly for grml developers. For end users, it is better not to play with any files within the grml-live structure, so as to make it easy when to upgrade grml-live.
Is there such a mechanism in place now? I knew there is a /etc/grml/grml-live.local file to do some variable setting customization, but I was talking about adding new CLASSes, and new files/patches, etc.
Thanks

Thanks. Oh, well, I was thinking not to mess up with /etc/grml/fai/ directory with user files, so as to make it easy when upgrading grml- live...
Anyway, thanks.

I'm using apt-cacher now. How can I tell grml-live to use my apt cache (ie, http://cache_server:3142)?
I've checked FAI’s NFSROOT, grml-live's MIRROR_DIRECTORY & MIRROR_SOURCES, all don't seems to be able to do it.

OK,
export http_proxy='http://cache_server:3142'
should do the trick.
Hi,
Does the grml-live package_config files support line end comments? e.g.,
a_debian_package # line end comment that explains what it is

Yep,

Hi,
Is it possible to *add to* current GRML_LIVE_SOURCES setting?
I tried,
GRML_LIVE_SOURCES="$GRML_LIVE_SOURCES # debian multimedia deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main non-free . . . "
but got
/etc/grml/grml-live.local: line 29: GRML_LIVE_SOURCES: unbound variable
then I realized that the grml-live.local should be in python syntax, which I don't know.
Please help. Thanks

Python? No.
"GRML_LIVE_SOURCES: unbound variable" tells you that you are using a variable that isn't set yet. So get rid of the unset $GRML_LIVE_SOURCES.

Hi,
When are dpkg.list & dpkg.selections generated, before chroot installation or after it?

The files are generated in one of the final steps before the squashfs file will be generated, it should catch what will be shipped by the ISO then.

Check out "apt-cache rdepends libmozjs2d" and if that doesn't help yet check out debtree -> http://collab-maint.alioth.debian.org/debtree/

Execute "debconf-get-selections | grep $PACKAGENAME" and put its output to /etc/grml/fai/config/debconf/$YOURCLASS.

Ok, then I guess the following is only done half the way, right?
$ grep -B1 ROOTPW class/GRMLBASE.var # root password for the new installed linux system; md5 and crypt are possible ROOTPW='x'

Ok, I'm on my own now.
I tried to search, but only to have found:

AFAIK it is just copied from FAIBASE.var. As the variable is never used in the grml classes it seems to me that, at least the grml classes, do not support it directly.
Setting ROOTPW not properly documented in fai-guide http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.fai/7612/focus=7618
The FAIBASE class supports AFAIK setting the password via the ROOTPW variable. Just have a look at the fai documentation. This has IMHO nothing to do with grml-live.
Please note that i do not have deep knowledge of grml-live nor of fai. So maybe you should ask the more general fai related questions on the fai list or wait until mika is back.
