-a **ARCHITECTURE**::
Use the specified architecture instead of the currently running one. This
-c **CLASSES**::
Specify the CLASSES to be used for building the ISO via FAI. By default only
-the classes GRMLBASE, GRML_MEDIUM and I386 are assumed, resulting in a small base
-system (being about ~180MB total ISO size). If using a non-I386 system (like
-AMD64) you should specify the appropriate architecture as well. Additionally you
-can specify a class providing a grml-kernel (see

Update existing chroot instead of rebuilding it from scratch. This option is
based on the softupdate feature of FAI.

-v **VERSION_NUMBER**::
Specify version number of the release.
To get a small Debian-unstable and grml-small based Live-CD using
/home/mika/grml-live as build and output directory just use:
- # grml-live -s sid -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386 -o /home/mika/grml-live
+ # grml-live -s sid -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,AMD64 -o /home/mika/grml-live

+To get a medium sized, Debian-unstable and grml-based Live-CD for amd64

+ # grml-live -s sid -a amd64 -c GRMLBASE,GRML_MEDIUM,AMD64
To get a small, Debian-unstable and grml-based Live-CD using /tmp as build and
output directory and use grml_0.0-3.iso as ISO name (placed inside
/tmp/grml_isos) just invoke:
- # grml-live -o /tmp -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386 -s sid -i grml_0.0-3.iso
+ # grml-live -o /tmp -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,AMD64 -s sid -i grml_0.0-3.iso
[NOTE]
If you want to use your own configuration, extend an existing configuration
and/or add additional packages to your ISO just invent a new class (or extend an
existing one). For example if you want to use your own class named "FOOBAR" just
-set CLASSES="GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386,FOOBAR" inside /etc/grml/grml-live.local
+set CLASSES="GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,AMD64,FOOBAR" inside /etc/grml/grml-live.local
or invoke grml-live using the classes option: "grml-live -c
-GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,I386,FOOBAR ...".
+GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,AMD64,FOOBAR ...".
More details regarding the class concept can be found in the documentation of
FAI itself (being available at /usr/share/doc/fai-doc/).
* REMOVE_DOCS: get rid of documentation directories (like /usr/share/doc,
/usr/share/man/, /usr/share/info,...)
+* SOURCES: retrieve Debian source packages after installation. Files will be
+placed in the output directory under grml_sources.

Can I use my own (local) Debian mirror?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Sure. Just adjust the variables GRML_LIVE_SOURCES and FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP (if not
-already using NFSROOT's base.tgz) inside /etc/grml/grml-live.conf according to
-your needs. Please don't forget that you should use the grml servers as well
-(see default configuration) so all the grml packages can be downloaded as well.
+Yes. Set up an according sources.list configuration as class file in
+${GRML_FAI_CONFIG}/config/files/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and adjust the variable
+FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP (if not already using NFSROOT's base.tgz) inside
+/etc/grml/grml-live.conf[.local]. If you're setting up your own class file don't
+forget to include the class name in the class list (grml-live -c ...).
-If you want to use a local (for example NFS mount) mirror additionally, just
-adjust MIRROR_DIRECTORY and MIRROR_SOURCES inside /etc/grml/grml-live.conf as
-well.
+If you want to use a local (for example NFS mount) mirror additionally then
+adjust MIRROR_DIRECTORY in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf[.local] as well.
-Unless you specify GRML_LIVE_SOURCES and/or FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP the default from
-${GRML_FAI_CONFIG}/apt/sources.list and ${GRML_FAI_CONFIG}/make-fai-nfsroot.conf will be
-taken. If you customise the variables in /etc/grml/grml-live.conf then the two
-files will be adjusted during runtime automatically.
+If you want to use a HTTP Proxy (like apt-cacher-ng), set APT_PROXY. Example:
-If MIRROR_DIRECTORY and MIRROR_SOURCES are specified the local mirror will be
-taken as first entry in the generated sources.list so it's preferred over
-non-local mirrors. Using a fallback mirror (via providing several mirrors in
-GRML_LIVE_SOURCES as used by default) is a recommended setting.
