FAQ
Of course using grml-live on a plain, original Debian installation is supported
as well. So there we go.
-What we have: plain, original Debian squeeze (6.0) with debian-backports
-enabled. (This is important for squashfs-tools.)
+What we have: plain, original Debian wheezy (7.x).
What we want: build a Grml ISO based on Debian/wheezy for the amd64 architecture
using grml-live.
# mv AMD64.tar.gz /etc/grml/fai/config/basefiles/
# install relevant tools
- apt-get install -t squeeze-backports squashfs-tools

# adjust grml-live configuration for our needs:

First of all create the chroot using debootstrap:
BASECHROOT='/tmp/basefile'
- debootstrap wheezy "$BASECHROOT" http://http.debian.net/debian
+ debootstrap wheezy "$BASECHROOT" http://ftp.debian.org/debian
tar -C "$BASECHROOT" --exclude='var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb' -zcf base.tar.gz ./

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.
Execute the following commands (requires root):
ARCH='amd64' # replace with i386 if necessary
- SUITE='squeeze' # using the current stable release should always work
+ 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"
