 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).
 

The best way is to partitioning the usbstick with fdisk/cfdisk and
format with mkfs.vfat -F 32 ${USBDEVICE_PARTITION} (FAT32).

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

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

Today, I have update my own stick with grml(64)-small and grml(64)-full
with grml2usb. It is a perfect tool for this. ;-)
