feature request: port tazusb to grml
hi.
i use grml a lot. like it a lot too. i install to usb with grml2hd and everything is fine. i boot my grml usb almost as much as my hdd.
i just testing slitaz livecd and use the tazusb tools. imho, this tazusb is perfect way to install live distro to usb.
please check it: http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/manuals/tazusb.en.html
the filesystem still compressed just like 'frugal' install only the /home folder is written directly on usb.
this way, it minimize writes to usb, which prolong the flashdrive live. but, we can use tazusb writefs to write any changes to the rootfs.
and if we do bad things to rootfs (sudo rm -rf /usr), we can easily boot and get back to previous state. nothing lost. (sort of like windows system restore, if any of you use windows....)
enough says.... can anyone port this tool to grml? or something similar....??
tia.

Looks like you aren't aware of grml2usb yet:
http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb
Notice that I'm re-implementing grml2usb right now, it will provide many new options - including multiso support (this is rocking awesome, trust me :)).

yes i know that grml2usb exist. but there's no info of what it can do. maybe a list of features on the web?
looks to me like usual frugal install. so i never tried it.
example, if i do aptitude install new app then reboot. does it still there? or is there anything i must do to make sure the installed new app stay there before i reboot?
i dont have much flashdrive to try out every possibilities...

I just uploaded the first public version of the new grml2usb implementation.
The new grml2usb script (rewritten from scratch, in python) provides multi-iso support, support for grub1/grub2 as well as syslinux as bootloaders, provides improved MBR handling,... (I couldn't find *any* USB pens that I couldn't boot with :)) and lots of other nice new stuff. :)
Check out http://grml.org/grml2usb/ for the documentation (that's available as manpage in the grml2usb Debian package as well).
grml2usb is available as Debian package as usual via the grml-testing pool (just run 'au; agi grml2usb' if grml-testing is enabled on your system):
http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/g/grml2usb/grml2usb_0.9.2_all.deb
(If you don't read this mail in time make sure to check out for any updates of course, thanks. :))
Find the sources at the usual place:
http://git.grml.org/?p=grml2usb.git
Happy grml2usb-ing, I think that really rocks. :) I highly appreciate your feedback!
regards, -mika-

Thanks, but it's completely rewritten from scratch and mostely done:
http://git.grml.org/?p=grml2usb.git;a=blob;f=grml2usb.py;hb=refs/heads/redes...
Just some minor glue is missing, then I'll provide an initial Debian package of it.
