Hi all,

May I suggest "grml-blindia" or "grml-blin-d-i-a", since we are planning 
to build other alternate d-i's for other Knoppix-inspired distros. 

Maybe find a good "generic" / "flexible" name so that its prefix or 
suffix can be re-used each time:
<distro_prefix>-<blin-d-i-a> or 
<distro_prefix>-<blindia> like in
grml-blindia - GRML Blindfriendly (plain) Debian-Installer Alternative-script
is IMHO the most effective since it tell 
about the distro, and the d-i-a (Debian/distro installer alternative).

Anyway, Phil and I were -exactly- talking about it yesterday: can you 
tell us William what's your current maintenance or contrib to GRML.org, 
for Philip, Bruno and the other readers ?

Can you remind us what the grml2hd currently do? If I remember it is 
quite different of our grml-blin-d-i-a ?

We would be proud, so feel free to test / feedback to us and to Michael, 
and if he's okay, we're OK too.

OK, I hadn't tested 0.2.1 with my GRML 0.6 yet, and you're right, maybe 
we also burn a recent 0.7 CD to see if 0.2.1 also runs undeer that 
GRML version.

I will do that asap, but can't promise if it'll be today since we have a 
big famlily meeting.
