Re: [Grml] grml-live questions

 How is grml-live officially used to create daily snapshot CDs (for amd64 
 grml-small  grml-medium)? 

Check out buildd/ in grml-live's git tree, or directly install
package grml-live-buildd.

 I did a test run, but got some error at the end. How can I fix it and get 
 an ISO created? 

 grml-live -o /dev/shm -c GRMLBASE,GRML_SMALL,amd64 -s sid

This isn't a valid class name.
That's why you didn't get a kernel:

  * /boot/config- not available. $KERNEL not set to correct value?

Use AMD64 instead of amd64.

Re: [Grml] dmesg is empty

 IIRC, the /var/log/dmesg file is empty when booting into grml. 

 Can anyone confirm this?
 How can I fix it so that my device info is retained?

That's because we don't invoke /etc/init.d/bootlogs in live mode.
Why would you need that? Doesn't invoking dmesg(1) provide what
you'd need?

Oh, I was confused by the man page saying:

If using a non-I386 system (like *amd64*) you should ...

that's where I get/use the amd64 from.

[Grml] grml-live and local package caching

I'm using apt-cacher now. How can I tell grml-live to use my apt cache
(ie, http://cache_server:3142)? 

I've checked FAI’s NFSROOT, grml-live's MIRROR_DIRECTORY  
MIRROR_SOURCES, all don't seems to be able to do it.

Thanks

[Grml] working parallel with grml-live

Thanks a lot. Another question, about grml-live customization, 

IMHO, so far grml-live is developed mainly for grml developers. For end 
users, it is better not to play with any files within the grml-live 
structure, so as to make it easy when to upgrade grml-live.

Is there such a mechanism in place now? I knew there is a 
/etc/grml/grml-live.local file to do some variable setting customization, 
but I was talking about adding new CLASSes, and new files/patches, etc.

Thanks

I was trying to use dmesg to see what kind of peripheral does the booted 
machine has. IIRC, dmesg yielded empty output as well.

A better alternative to see all peripheral info for the box?

Thanks

OK, 

 export http_proxy='http://cache_server:3142'

should do the trick.
