Full Remaster
This is the recommended way, using grml-live. This process is a full rebuild, building a completely new squashfs. It gives you full control about the result, including removing and adding packages, configuration etc.
To remaster, you need a Debian testing/sid installation or a current grml itself. Running the installation system in a VM is fine. The remastering process doesn't anything weird outside the build directory. It is generally assumed that you use the version of grml-liv…text/html2017-11-09T09:56:09+01:00zugschlusrescue - add instruction how to patch the iso for text only boot

It's possible to use so called (root) persistency on Grml.
This means you can store (all) your settings and reuse them on reboot, without having to remaster/re-generate the ISO by storing all the changes on an external media (like a USB device).

Preface
The Grml rescue system supports booting the Grml ISO from a hard disk. This provides a decent way to have a Grml ISO in /boot/grml/ on your hard disk and as long as the hard disk and its GRUB boot loader is working you can boot the Grml rescue system without having a rescue CD, USB pen or PXE environment available.text/html2016-01-10T21:27:51+01:00mikaterminalserver - update netboot URLs (thanks stappers!)

Most computers today have the capability to boot over the network. This network boot capability is often named PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment). This can be very handy to boot into Grml without burning CDs, writing USB sticks, etc.
If you do not have a PXE environment available yet the easiest way to get started with Grml PXE boot is by booting one Grml system from USB/CD/DVD and just invoke 'grml-terminalserver' there. This easy-to-use tool will guide you through the configuration to set up…text/html2015-04-20T15:52:43+01:00mikadebian - add yum whatprovides [mika]

We noticed that not only Debian-users like Grml but also people coming from the BSD-section, Gentoo-Linux and so on. You don't need any Debian knowledge to use Grml, but if you would like to use the package management you should know some basics. The following table provides a comparison of the package management of Debian compared with some other well known package management systems:text/html2013-10-20T21:57:08+01:00guytips - howto debianise Intel NIC drivers and include them in grml

Grml officially supports booting from usb-stick with all grml flavours. First of all make sure your system supports booting via usb/firewire. Some hardware claims to be able to boot via usb/firewire but does not really support it the way it should work. :-/text/html2011-12-24T16:10:18+01:00mikapress - standard.at

Problems related to UnionFS/aufs
'apt-get install foo' seems to freeze after a while
It seems you are running out of RAM - see 'free' while running 'apt-get...'. UnionFS and the debian packetmanagement require some more RAM for the ramdisk. Some tests showed that at least 164 MB RAM should be present for live-installation, otherwise you might run into a freeze.text/html2011-10-14T02:20:34+01:00jimmyhardware - [Desktops/Workstations]
