installing on a usb stick
I have an 8 GB usb stick on which I would like to install grml. Does anyone have recommendations regarding the use of grml2hd vs. grml2usb?
Using Ubuntu's usb-creator, I got a system that would boot on my desktop, but not on my x61 thinkpad ...
Thanks.
Hi
In my humble experience, grml2hd is usually best installed from a running system. That way you can make xorg.conf hardware specific for example.
From the sound of it grml2usb would suit you better.

Speaking of which.. Does 2008-11 support the directory layout for USB thumb-drives we talked about some months back?

grml2hd: if you want to use kind of static system (like a typical harddisk installation)
grml2usb: if you want to use grml in the typical live mode :)

No, sadly not yet, see http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue466 and http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue501
I was just running out of time and therefore couldn't work on the redesign of grml2usb. The reason is that it's not just grml2usb which needs to be adjusted when we change the directory layout, so we need to design that beforehand. But it's definitely something we don't forget and will work on, promised. :)

Understood. That promise is all I need, thanks!
