So which software repository is actually used? I have a stock debian and
added the GRML repo, to have a look what´s in there. I found 29 packages
and wondering now, which part of debian you are using. Is this just
added to make the "pure" debian unstable a bit more convenient and
userfriendly?

Is it possible to set up grml with "testing"? Thats what i have right
now, but i dont like the debian installer, and i dont want to download
all the KDE-libs when choosing "desktop-install" and so on (when doin a
new install on another machine). You know the hassles of the Installer :-)
Thanks in advance,
Frank
