+.TH grml2ram 8
+.SH "NAME"
+grml2ram \- copy compressed GRML image to RAM
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B grml2ram
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+grml2ram is a script which copies the compressed GRML image to RAM and
+unmounts /cdrom then. This allows ejecting of the CD (run 'eject /dev/cdrom' for example)
+afterwards. Therefore running the grml live-cd without the need for a present grml-ISO is possible.
+Please notice that you need enough free RAM to run grml2ram. At least enough space for the compressed
+GRML image itself (about 52MB for grml-small and 685MB for grml) and for running userspace software
+afterwards (at least 128MB are recommended) should be available.
+.SH OPTIONS
+grml2ram supports only the following option:
+.TP
+.B -f, \-\-force
+Force copy process for GRML image even though the check for enough free RAM fails.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.B bootoption toram
+.SH AUTHOR
+This manual page was written by Michael Prokop <mika@grml.org> for the grml project.
