[Grml] grml usb sticks

[Albert Dengg]

hi,
a while ago i bought one of the nice 32/64bit dual usb keys and since it
is now a bit outdated (the version is from the beginning of 2010 or so)
i would like to update it, but i haven't found a procedure in the wiki
or anywhere else...and i would like to avoid having to do to much
reading of docs and/or doing it by trial and error the hard way.

can anybody point me in the right direction?

thx

yours,
albert

Same question I wanted to ask since 2010.12 came out (as I also have
one of these shiny grml.org usb-keys with 2010.04~rc-something on it).

After searching the grml-wiki (after your trigger - thx!) I found
this:

[1] http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb&s=usb
[2] http://grml.org/grml2usb/

So it seems that downloading both ISOs (32bit/64bit) and

% grml2usb ${GRML64BIT_ISO} ${GRML32BIT_ISO} ${USBDEVICE_PARTITION}

should do the trick. The usb-stick should be partitioned and formatted
mit fat16 (or you can use the "--fat16" option).

According to [3] everything else[tm] (e.g. memtest, freedos) should be
on the stick automatically.

Please be aware that I have not tested it (yet). Please tell me if
that worked! (Or if anyone knows better, let me know.)

The best way is to partitioning the usbstick with fdisk/cfdisk and
format with "mkfs.vfat -F 32 ${USBDEVICE_PARTITION}" (FAT32).

Today, I have update my own stick with grml(64)-small and grml(64)-full
with grml2usb. It is a perfect tool for this. ;-)
