First of all I extracted a grml-small squashfs. Then I chrooted to the squashfs-root created by unsquashfs to "apt-get install grml-terminalserver".
Now executing the above mentioned script resulted in a minor error because "make" was not installed as a dependancy. Further on it tried to setup the chroot environment as the terminalserver which I never intended ... Finally I got a grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1.tar.bz2 containing nothing useful: grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/ grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/grub.img grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/tftpboot/ grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/grub_enabled_nics Later I figured out a call "grml-terminalserver-config initrd" which sounded promising but which tried to loopback mount a CPIO archive ?! > + eval 'mount -o loop=/dev/loop3 /tmp/terminalserver_initrd.yzNoiv/minirt26 > /etc/grml/terminalserver/mini-root.orig ' > ++ mount -o loop=/dev/loop3 /tmp/terminalserver_initrd.yzNoiv/minirt26 > /etc/grml/terminalserver/mini-root.orig > mount: you must specify the filesystem type As far as I could see the CPIO archive was copied from /cdrom which contained the mounted ISO (loopback from outside the chroot). Well finally I did not succeed in building an apropriate initrd to use for my existing PXE setup. Now what did I do wrong? Or did I completely misunderstand the usage of the provided scripts?
