-Known TODOs
------------
-
-* support something like a directory /etc/grml/fai/packages to install
-additional Debian packages without the need for a Debian repository
-
-* provide hooks/options for updating an existing chroot/squashfs-file/ISO
-(work in progress, see patches directory inside source)
-
-* document the available classes in more detail (GRMLBASE, LATEX_CLEANUP,
-NO_ONLINE, REMOVE_DOCS, GRML_SMALL,...)
-
-* add a check to make sure $TARGET is mounted rw,suid,dev?
+Set up approx for use with grml-live
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-* add support for amd64 [gebi?] + ppc [formorer?] (and identify all packages
-that are arch specific so we have a clean package list in all classes)
+Make sure /etc/grml/grml-live.conf provides according GRML_LIVE_SOURCES and
+FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP:
-* support different grml-flavours through classes right out-of-the-box (being:
-grml and grml-small (done), each for x86, amd64 and ppc)
-
-* support signed apt repositories (currently it's deactivated via FAI's
-FAI_ALLOW_UNSIGNED=1 for some packages in the toolchain)
-
-* support "final builds" (including stuff like generating md5sums, gpg,... -
-create a grml_release-directory including all the details about the build
-process like dpkg selection, logs,...)
-
-* the grml-live class(es) should send output to stdout and stderr as used inside
-FAI as well (so it's not as verbose unless you specify it, make it configurable
-though); check for errors inside the logs then as well
-
-* provide possibility for cleanup of all created build directories and
-a smart summary of the buildprocess (including "took ... minutes/seconds to
-build...")
-
-* check out how FAI_DEBMIRROR of /etc/grml/fai/fai.conf could be merged with our
-MIRROR_DIRECTORY and MIRROR_SOURCES feature of /etc/grml/grml-live.conf

-* Provide all upcoming grml releases based on grml-live.
+Don't forget to restart approx (/etc/init.d/approx restart). That's it.
+All downloaded files will be cached in /var/cache/approx now.
-* Provide a console interface (using dialog) for easy and common use of
-grml-live.

-use of grml-live.
