Whereas grml2hd installs the main system to -a given partition, grml2usb just copies the files from the grml-iso to the usb -device. You do not need as much space as the grml2hd installation would take -but just the size of the iso itself (about 700MB for grml, using a 1GB usb -pen works fine therefore). -.SH OPTIONS -grml2usb requires and supports exactly two options: -.TP -.B -The path where the iso you want to use for installation is available. -That's something like for example /home/mika/grml_0.9.iso. -The path could als be a block device or a plain directory (which contains all -files of the iso). -.TP -.B -This option specifies the mountpoint for your usb device, using the setup in -/etc/fstab. grml2usb copies the iso to this mountpoint and runs syslinux (the -bootloader for the usb device so it can boot at all) on the device later on. -.SH NOTES -Booting via USB might be tricky as you have to take care of several pitfals. -First of all make sure the BIOS of your system is capable of booting from USB -devices at all. You need a primary partition on your usb device with the -bootflag enabled (see 'cfdisk /dev/ice') and with filesystem type vfat -(run 'mkfs.vfat -F 16 -v /dev/ice1' to create it). -.SH USAGE EXAMPLES -.TP -.B grml2usb /home/mika/grml_0.9.iso /mnt/usb-sda1 -This will install the iso grml_0.9.iso to the device behind mountpoint -/mnt/usb-sda1 set up via /etc/fstab. -.TP -.B grml2usb /cdrom /mnt/external1 -Install currently running grml to usb-device on /mnt/external1. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR "http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb " and -.BR grml2hd (8) -.SH BUGREPORTS -Please report any bugs you notice to the author. -.SH AUTHOR -grml2usb was written by Michael Prokop . -.PP -This manual page was written by Michael Prokop -for the grml project (but may be used by others).
