deal with all the details in the core of the system.

How to get your own live-cd - the easy, fast and simple way
-----------------------------------------------------------
To get a small, Debian-stable and grml based live-cd:
- # TARGET="/grml/chroot/grml_uncompressed" ; mkdir -p $TARGET
+ # export LANG=C ; export LC_MESSAGES=C
+ # TARGET="/grml/chroot/grml_uncompressed"
+ # CDDIR="/grml/chroot/grml_cd"
+ # mkdir -p $TARGET
+
# fai -v -C /etc/grml/fai -cGRML dirinstall $TARGET
- # mksquashfs $TARGET/* /grml/chroot/grml_cd/live/grml.squashfs -noappend
- # cd /grml/chroot/grml_cd/
+ # mksquashfs $TARGET/* $CDDIR/live/grml.squashfs -noappend
+ # cd $CDDIR
# mkisofs -V "my personal grml" -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat \
-b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -o /grml/grml.iso .
FAI_CONFIGDIR=/etc/grml/fai/config, a directory shipped by grml-live
out-of-the-box so you shouldn't have to configure anything in this file.

+This file specifies which mirrors should be used for retreiving the Debian
+packages used for creating the ISO. If you want to use a local mirror you have
+to adjust this file.
+
/etc/grml/fai/config/
The main directory for configuration of FAI/grml-live. More details below.
/etc/grml/fai/config/debconf/
-This directory provides the files for presseding/configuration of debconf
+This directory provides the files for preseeding/configuration of debconf
through files.
/etc/grml/fai/config/hooks/
/etc/grml/fai/config/package_config/
File with lists of software packages to be installed or removed. The different
-classes describe what should find its way to your ISO. When running 'fai -v
--cGRML dirinstall ...' only the files from the directory GRML/ will be taken, if
-you use 'fai -v -cGRML,FOOBAR dirinstall ...' then the files of GRML/ **plus**
-the files from FOOBAR/ will be taken. So just create a new class to adjust it to
-your needs. Please notice that the directory GRML contains a package list
-defining a minimum but still reasonable package configuration.

/etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/
Scripts for customising the ISO within build process.

+
+This directory provides the files used for building the initramfs/initrd via
+live-initramfs(8).
+
+TODO
+----
+
+* provide a wrapper script which runs all the necessary command in a single run
+(named grml-live plus configuration file /etc/grml/grml-live.conf)
+
+* replace 192.168.... inside the configuration files for the Debian mirro with
+something generic and make it configurable
+
+* provide buildprocess for boot/isolinux stuff
+
+* explain and provide configuration for use of NFSROOT
