this class as well, so unless you have a really good reason you should always
use this class.

+defaults of grml-live. Configurations via /etc/grml/grml-live.local are preferred
over the ones from /etc/grml/grml-live.conf. If you want to override settings
from /etc/grml/grml-live.local as well you have to specify them on the grml-live
commandline.
Instead use the GRML_LIVE_SOURCES variable inside /etc/grml/grml-live.conf or
/etc/grml/grml-live.local which modifies /etc/grml/fai/apt/sources.list
on-the-fly via grml-live then. If you want to generally adjust apt configuration
-check out /etc/grml/fai/files/etc/apt instead.
+use FAI's fcopy command with /etc/grml/fai/config/files instead.

Scripts for customising the ISO within the build process.

Available log files
-------------------
-grml-live itself logs to /var/log/grml-live.log. Unless you set ZERO_LOGFILE in
-/etc/grml/grml-live.conf the output is appended to the file. If you set the
-ZERO_LOGFILE configuration option the logfile will be truncated on each new
-invocation of grml-live.
+grml-live itself logs to /var/log/grml-live.log. Unless you set PRESERVE_LOGFILE
+in your grml-live configuration the file is cleared on each new invocation of
+grml-live.
The FAI part of grml-live logs to /var/log/fai/$HOSTNAME/ - so the
default being /var/log/fai/grml/.
If you are using the grml-live buildd you will find the logs of the grml-live
run at /var/log/grml-buildd.stdout and /var/log/grml-buildd.stderr.
+If you want to store build information in a database just install the
+grml-live-db Debian package. Further details available in the grml-live-db
+manpage.

[NOTE]
Please use squashfs-lzma-tools >=4.0-2 from Grml if you want to remaster any
grml release being MORE RECENT than 2009.05.

provides the mksquashfs and unsquashfs binaries. The package does NOT
conflict with the squashfs-lzma-tools 4.0-2 package (you can install both of
them at the same time).
The packages can be downloaded from

It provides support for the new squashfs file format version 4 and therefore
requires kernel versions newer than 2.6.28-grml[64].
