CAUTION: Please check out <<current_state,the 'Current state of grml-live with
squashfs-tools and kernel' section>> for details about current state of involved
system/chroot and do not want to execute any further updates (via "-u" option)
but intend to only build the ISO.
+ -B::
+
+Build the ISO without touching the chroot at all. This option is useful if
+you modified anything that FAI or grml-live might adjust via grml's FAI
+scripts. It's like the '-b' option but even more advanced. Use only if you
+really know that you do not want to update the chroot.
+
-c **CLASSES**::
Specify the CLASSES to be used for building the ISO via FAI. By default only
ISO are located, including the compressed squashfs file), grml_chroot (the
chroot system) and grml_isos (where the resulting ISO is stored).
+ -q::
+
+Build the ISO without (re-)creating the squashfs compressed file using mksquashfs.
+This option is useful if you just want to update parts outside the chroot in the ISO.
+Consider combining this option with the build-only option '-b'.
+
-r **RELEASENAME**::
Specify name of the release.
* LATEX_CLEANUP: get rid of several very large LaTeX directories
(like some /usr/share/doc/texlive-*, /usr/share/doc/texmf,...)
-* LOCALES: use full featured locales setup (see /etc/locale.gen.grml)
+* LOCALES: use full featured locales setup (see /etc/locale.gen.grml). This
+avoids to get rid of /usr/share/locale - which happens by default otherwise - as
+well.
* NO_ONLINE: do not run scripts during the chroot build process which require a
network connection
Versions with LZMA compression:
* Kernel 2.6.23-grml: works
-* Kernel 2.6.26-grml: does NOT work, please use zlib mode instead
+* Kernel 2.6.26-grml: does NOT work, please use zlib mode instead or switch
+ to Debian package squashfs-lzma-tools (see section above).
