It wouldn't be difficult to install it and then just add whatever is desired

Do you have an entry for the root file system in its /etc/fstab file? If not,

yes. Also, grub doesn't need to overwrite the boot sector whenever you upgrade
a kernel; all it needs to do is c

This opens up a broader issue: are you considering a version of GRML/GRML64

It's still supported but it appears as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb etc., with the new
drivers.

Not if the new libata drivers are enabled in the kernel instead of the old IDE
drivers, which I have been informed on other mailing lists are now regarded as
legacy code.

I'm not sure, but you can just use GRML to install a Debian Stable system to
your hard disk with Debootstrap if you really care about that le

Surely you can just install Debian and then install whatever you want after
that, including Gnome, Orca, Firefox, etc.

Thank you - this is much appreciated. I think it would be a good release

Is it possible to place grml in a chroot environment on a debian system, then
boot into it from another machine using PXE?
The advantage here is that I could make configuration changes, e.g., to have
