Yes, it's possible to get what you want - without having to use grml-live. :) I just implemented support for loopback devices in grml2usb. Please grab the current version of the script and give it a try: http://git.grml.org/?p=grml2usb.git;a=blob_plain;f=grml2usb;hb=HEAD Note: to build a bootable ISO you've to generate the according eltorito boot image. As grml2usb can generate the configuration files for syslinux/grub already I just wrote a script which generates the eltorito boot stuff. All the steps from 0 to a multiboot ISO are implemented in the following script: http://grml.org/tmp/grml2usb-to-iso.sh Just adjust it according to your needs. It's a bit hackish for now, though it should do what it's supposed to do. I'm thinking about providing an official grml2usb-to-iso script as part of the official grml2usb suite. Please let me know if it works for you, then I'd upload a new grml2usb version and work on a final solution of grml2usb-to-iso. > Greettings and excuse for my english but it's now my native language. No problem, it's just fine - I'm not a native english speaker as well. ;) > PS: if it can be done, I'd like to make a CD with for example > grml-medium and grml64-medium on it too Sure, no problem - just works with the steps mentioned above. :) regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
