+Notice: this deletes all your grml-live configuration files. If that's really
+what you are searching for just run:
+
+ rm -rf /etc/grml/fai /etc/grml/grml-live.conf
+ dpkg -i --force-confnew --force-confmiss /path/to/grml-live_..._all.deb
+
+[[create-a-base-tgz]]
+How do I create a base.tgz?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+First of all create the chroot using debootstrap:
+
+ BASECHROOT='/tmp/basefile'
+ debootstrap wheezy "$BASECHROOT" http://http.debian.net/debian
+ tar -C "$BASECHROOT" --exclude='var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb' -zcf base.tar.gz ./
+
+[TIP]
+By default debootstrap builds a chroot matching the architecture of the running
+host system. If you're using an amd64 system and want to build an i386 base.tgz
+then invoke debootstrap using the '--arch i386' option. Disclaimer: building an
+AMD64 base.tgz won't work if you are using a 32bit kernel system of course.
+
+Then move the base.tar.gz to /etc/grml/fai/config/basefiles/$CLASSNAME.tar.gz.
+Use e.g. I386 as $CLASSNAME for i386 chroots and AMD64 for amd64 chroots.
+
+Now executing grml-live should use this file as base system instead of executing
+debootstrap. Check out the output for something like:
+
+ [...]
+ ftar: extracting //etc/grml/fai/config/basefiles///AMD64.tar.gz to /srv/grml64_testing/grml_chroot//
+ [...]
+
+[TIP]
+Existing base.tgz can be found at http://daily.grml.org/
+
+[[apt-cacher]]
+Set up apt-cacher-ng for use with grml-live
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Make sure /etc/grml/grml-live.local provides according APT_PROXY and
+FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP:
+
+ # cat /etc/grml/grml-live.local
+ [...]
+ APT_PROXY="http://localhost:3142/"
+ [...]
+ FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP="wheezy http://localhost:3142/http.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free"
+
+Make sure apt-cacher-ng is running ('/etc/init.d/apt-cacher-ng restart').
+That's it. All downloaded files will be cached in /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng then.
+
+[[revert_manifold]]
+How do I revert the manifold feature from an ISO?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The so called manifold feature Grml ISOs use by default allows one to use the same
+ISO for CD boot and USB boot. If you notice any problems when booting just
+revert the manifold feature running:
+
+ % dd if=/dev/zero of=grml.iso bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc
+
+To switch from manifold to isohybrid mode (an alternative approach provided by
+syslinux) then just execute:
+
+ % isohybrid grml.iso
+
+[[basetgz]]
+How do I create a base tar.gz (I386.tar.gz or AMD64.tar.gz)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Execute the following commands (requires root):
+
+ ARCH='amd64' # replace with i386 if necessary
+ SUITE='wheezy' # using the current stable release should always work
+ debootstrap --arch "$ARCH" --exclude=info,tasksel,tasksel-data "$SUITE" "$ARCH" http://debian.netcologne.de/debian
+ cd "$ARCH"
+ rm var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
+ tar zcf ../"${ARCH}".tar.gz *
+
+And finally place the generated tarball in /etc/grml/fai/config/basefiles/ (note
+that it needs to be uppercase letters matching the class names, so: AMD64.tar.gz
+for amd64 and I386.tar.gz for i386).
