 a while ago i bought one of the nice 32/64bit dual usb keys and since it

 i would like to update it, but i haven't found a procedure in the wiki
 or anywhere else...and i would like to avoid having to do to much
 reading of docs and/or doing it by trial and error the hard way.
 
 can anybody point me in the right direction?

Same question I wanted to ask since 2010.12 came out (as I also have
one of these shiny grml.org usb-keys with 2010.04~rc-something on it).

After searching the grml-wiki (after your trigger - thx!) I found
this:

[1] http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usbs=usb
[2] http://grml.org/grml2usb/

So it seems that downloading both ISOs (32bit/64bit) and

% grml2usb ${GRML64BIT_ISO} ${GRML32BIT_ISO} ${USBDEVICE_PARTITION}

should do the trick. The usb-stick should be partitioned and formatted
mit fat16 (or you can use the --fat16 option).

According to [3] everything else[tm] (e.g. memtest, freedos) should be
on the stick automatically.

[3] http://grml.org/grml2usb/#directory-layout

Please be aware that I have not tested it (yet). Please tell me if
that worked! (Or if anyone knows better, let me know.)

 Could you tell me what syntax can we use in xkeyboard
  definition, or how to setup my Bépo keyboard layout (if possible) ?
 
 Hmm. Variants of keyboard layouts (currently) does not seem to be
 implemented:
 
 [1] http://qr.cx/J1ri
 
 One need to add a new bootoption (e.g. xkeyvariant) and introduce a
 new variable (e.g. XKEYVARIANT) in '/etc/grml/autoconfig.functions' to
 write this into '/etc/sysconfig/keyboard'.
 
 After that this variable needs to be parsed by 'grml_keyboard' in
 '$HOME/.xinitrc.d' resp. '/etc/skel/.xinitrc.d'.
 
 With these changes it should be possible to set xkeyboard=fr
 xkeyvariant=bepo.
 
 I've attached two (untested) patches (against the files in grml
 2011.05) to get an idea. Maybe it can be helpful or even useful.. ;)

Thanks for your quick reply !

  I don't know well grml yet, only tested the ISO, so I don't know what
to do with your patches yet :-)
  Perhaps it could be simpler to add a new choice in the console menu
proposing different keyboard layouts ?
