AFAIK, grml uses file-rc instead of sys-rc, so better use update-rc.d to 
make sure that it can launch at boot. 

check the steps at

I just uploaded the first public version of the new grml2usb
implementation.

The new grml2usb script (rewritten from scratch, in python) provides
multi-iso support, support for grub1/grub2 as well as syslinux as
bootloaders, provides improved MBR handling,... (I couldn't find
*any* USB pens that I couldn't boot with :)) and lots of other nice
new stuff. :)

Check out http://grml.org/grml2usb/ for the documentation (that's
available as manpage in the grml2usb Debian package as well).

grml2usb is available as Debian package as usual via the
grml-testing pool (just run 'au; agi grml2usb' if grml-testing is
enabled on your system):

  http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/g/grml2usb/grml2usb_0.9.2_all.deb

(If you don't read this mail in time make sure to check out for any
updates of course, thanks. :))

Find the sources at the usual place:

  http://git.grml.org/?p=grml2usb.git

Happy grml2usb-ing, I think that really rocks. :)
I highly appreciate your feedback!

What exactly do you want to know? How should the usage differ from
non-productive (home?) environment?

Yes. grml-network IIRC.

You should have a Nameserver for your domain, so that should have
nothing to do with grml. Or am I missing anything?

> What happens in grml if I add to resolv.conf:

AFAIK this will only add a domain.org to any non-fully-qualified
hostnames. Search for "foo" and it will add domain.org => foo.domain.org

You unpack the tar (to /opt/vmware), and then run vmware-install.pl,
which copies the files to the right places /usr/lib/vmware/,
/etc/vmware/, /etc/init.d/...).

So basically I would say the procedure is the same as with any other
linux distribution.

Gnome should have any kind of autostart.

Why should you? Of your refit works there should not be any need.

Maybe try some more sticks, USB HDDs, CDs, whatever. Or just remove
refit, and try with the Apple thingy.

Or reinstall refit. Or... ;-(
