Re: [Grml] Custom user configs on grml

Yes, i don't like to include custom configs on the grml cd. And i think it won't benefit anyone but the owners of the included configs. It also raises some question like which config do we want to include? What requirements do we use for the user provided configs? Must they be documented? Should we just allow everything or do some basic QA? How about updates? I also don't see the benefit if we just include some configs from some people. OTOH you can easily create customized grml cds with grml2iso (with modified bootparamets to load the specific configuration and add your config automatically) and put it on your fileserver. , | ./grml2iso -b config=richih.tar.bz2 \ | -c dir/to/put/on/cd -o custom.iso grml.iso grml64.iso ` Great idea?

Oh and just copying by hand will also not work OOTB with syslinux, you

If yes, where will that script be stored. What script? You do not need the guestAddition.iso as everything needed is already included in debian/grml. If no thanks. but its still not working. It should have worked.

You can also build the guest modules yourself (not recommend), just install virtualbox-ose-guest-source and kernel headers for your current kernel. Then you can use module-assistent to build the virtualbox guest-additions for your current kernel. regards, Ulrich ___ Grml mailing list - Grml@mur.at http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/

Re: [Grml] Re: Sugestion - zsh logout
* Mark wrote [26.11.06 04:28]: Small suggestion : in the /etc/zsh/logout I added the small word reset which automatically leaves a clean console when logging out. I like that and nobody nosing around. also security concern. clear should be the right way, because reset resets also the terminal settings, which may be not that what you want to have. We second the idea. (Maybe diskwipe the zsh history?) Why dont just set SAVEHIST to zero or set HISTFILE to /dev/zero. Very appropriate for mobile USB devices that change hands (or get lost!). Hm, i dont know whats the problem with the history of commands you used, but why you dont just encrypt $HOME, or $TMP or whatever you need? This would also the right way if you think about mobile devices which could get lost and private data could leak. M. Uli -- WARNING: RAID-6 is currently highly experimental.
