If not, it won't work. Using the equvalient syslinux.cfg entry, I was able to boot grml iso from HD using grml-small from USB, but there is a problem, > Having Looked into the issue, I realized that, > > grml search for grml image in all patitions first before doing the bootfrom= > cheatcode.

The problem may related to this (unable to load modules). Thy symptom is that the ifconfig -a only shows lo device, not eth0. If I specified 'ifup eth0', the respond was no such device or similar. Duplicated the result each time when tested. Booting grml-small or grml directly won't have such problem. eth0 works fine. Test environment: grml 0.9/grml-small 0.3 tong __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
