-About
------
-
-You have a local partition you would like to use as your home-directory?  Just
-use the interactive script called 'mkpersistenthome'. It will either create a
-file named grml.img on the specified partition or create a partition using the
-ext2 filesystem (you can specify the option in a dialog inside the program).
-grml.img is a loopback device which size you can specify manually.  It is
-possible to scan through the partitions to identify the appropriate partition.
-To use a home-directory located on your hard-drive use the appropriate boot
-parameter on bootprompt:
-
-  home=/dev/sda3    =>   use /dev/sda3 as the homepartition
-  home=scan         =>   scan through the available partitions and search for file grml.img
-
-Use persistent home directory
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-You want to use a persistent home directory which includes all the files located
-in $HOME. Use the script mkpersistenthome to create such a persistent home
-directory. You have the options to either use a specific partition as your home
-directory or add a loopback file named grml.img on the specified partition (the
-default).
-
-TIP: /dev/external in the partition selection of mkpersistenthome is an usb
-device without partitions. /dev/external1 corresponds to the first partition on
-an usb device (usually an usb stick).
-
-After running the script mkpersistenthome you can use the boot parameter home to
-activate the home directory. If you are using the option with the loopback file
-(grml.img) you can boot via:
-
-  grml home=scan
-
-which will scan through the partitions and if a file grml.img is found it will
-be mounted as your $HOME-directory. If you want to use a partition as your home
-directory specify the device as an option. If you want to use /dev/sda2 as your
-$HOME boot via:
-
-  grml home=/dev/sda2
-
-Notice: the files located in /etc/skel will be copied to the partition (but will
-not overwrite any files).
