the classes GRMLBASE, GRML_FULL and I386/AMD64 (depending on system\r

-appropriate architecture as well. Additionally you can specify a class providing\r

+FILE_RC: instead of using systemd as init system use file-rc instead. file-rc\r
+was the init system used by Grml until and including stable release 2014.11,\r
+starting with beginning of 2016 Grml switched to systemd instead. If you want to\r
+build a live system in the old style using file-rc instead of systemd then enable\r
+this class. Please notice that support for file-rc is no longer being actively\r
+maintained (the Grml team happily accepts patches though) and file-rc (upstream\r
+wise) might disappear too.\r

FRESHCLAM: execute freshclam (if it’s present) to update clamav definitions\r
(increases resulting ISO size ~70MB). By default it’s skipped to avoid bigger\r
ISO size.\r
GRMLBASE: the main class responsible for getting a minimal subset of what’s\r
defining a Grml system. Important parts of the buildprocess are specified in\r
this class as well, so unless you have a really good reason you should always\r
-use this class.\r
+use this class. Please be aware that using <strong>just</strong> the GRMLBASE class won’t be\r
+enough, because the kernel packages (e.g. linux-image-i386-grml<br />\r
+linux-image-amd64-grml) are chosen in further GRML_* classes (to provide maximum\r
+flexibility with kernel selection). If you don’t want to use the existing\r
+GRML_FULL or GRML_SMALL classes, define your own CLASS file choosing the kernel\r
+package you want to use (and don’t forget to include your CLASS in the arguments\r
+of grml-live’s -c… command line option).\r
