13 grml-rescueboot integrates Grml ISO booting into GRUB.
14 It provides a script for update-grub which looks for Grml ISO images in <file>/boot/grml</file>,
15 and automatically adds an entry for each image.
16 The purpose is to use one of those images to boot a Grml rescue system without using a CD, USB stick or network boot (PXE).
18 <file>update-grml-rescueboot</file> is a script which checks for the latest stable version of Grml (via download.grml.org),
19 ensures there's enough free disk space in <file>/boot/grml</file> and downloads the ISO to <file>/boot/grml</file>.
20 It verifies the ISO signature and upon success executes update-grub then.
21 Everything should be ready for booting a Grml ISO via GRUB then.
23 This script makes integration of a Grml ISO into GRUB via grml-rescueboot even easier.
24 All that needs to be done is install grml-rescueboot and invoke update-grml-rescueboot afterwards.
25 Using the <arg>-a</arg> and <arg>-t</arg> options it's possible to use specific Grml ISOs.
26 If none of those options is specific it defaults to the grml-full flavour,
27 matching the currently running hardware architecture (i?86 or x86_64).
34 <p><opt>-a <arg>arg</arg></opt></p>
37 Choose Grml architecture, specified via <arg>arg</arg>.
38 Supported flavours are '32', '64' and '96'.
39 If unset defaults to the currently running architecture.
48 Force execution, ignoring, e.g. existing ISO files and disk space checks for <file>/boot/grml</file>.
57 Display usage information and exit script.
63 <p><opt>-t <arg>arg</arg></opt></p>
66 Choose Grml flavour, specified via <arg>arg</arg>.
67 Supported flavours are 'small' and 'full'.
68 If unset defaults to 'full'.
