It can be annoying to run grml without a network. When you unplug ethernet and boot grml, various 'strange' things happen. Name resolution and network time fail. That is normal, but the problem is retry/timeout settings. After a couple of minutes the daemon error messages should stop. Some reappear for long periods of time.
Suggestion: test grml in this 'failure' mode and adjust the retry/timeout factors. Sometimes, even when you have a working network, the name resolution system is down, giving a similar result.

What's "daemon error messages"? Please be more specific, thanks.

Power down, unplug your network cable from the PC, reboot. Work for ~15 minutes and you'll get the behavior I discussed. Maybe not exactly, but the point remains, this failure mode should be part of normal grml dev tests. Exact messages are unimportant. The question is tuning retry/timeout factors for various daemons in stock grml distributions. I am not asking for help to fix a grml setup, just asking that you include network failure tests in your dev work.
Thanks

Done that.

No.

If you think so. Without any messages I can't work on improving it.

Absolutely no problems here.
