Sorry I still don't get it.
Say when grml2usb installing grml-small and generates a bootid of grml-
small-123. Then when grml2usb installing my own flavour of grml, it
generates another bootid of my-own-456. Now grml-small expect that the
bootid is grml-small-123, and mine being my-own-456. My understand is
that only one of them can boot now. which part I've figured wrong?
Thanks
