[Grml] Boot options

[Philippe Delavalade]

HI all.

I'm new on this list and new to GRML.

Being blind and french, I have to enter the following when booting on
the CD :

grml blind brltty=pm,usb:,fr at FR lang=fr-iso

It is difficult because I don't know exactly when it is boot prompt and I
have to do this with a qwerty keyboard instaid of my usual azerty. Mistakes
are frequent :-(

So, I would like to know if it's possible to avoid the step of boot
options. I guess it's possible to remaster the iso but maybe there is
something more simple and handy.

If it's the only way to remaster, where can I find informations to do
this?? Long time ago, I did that with the linuxfromscratch livecd but every
step was explained...

Thanks for help or advice.

I don't know another simple way, but with the grml-live tool you can
easy customize your grml iso.

Please take a look at http://grml.org/grml-live/.

grml2iso, which is shipped together with grml2usb as a Debian
package, can rebuild the ISO you have and add custom boot options.

I think the invocation will be something like this:

grml2iso -o grml_custom.iso -b "blind brltty=pm,usb:,fr at FR lang=fr-iso" grml_2011.05.iso

Hi Christian and Markus.

Many thanks for your help.

I had a look to grml-live ; it seems too complicate and too hard for me
now?:-) But I'll try later to obtain a grml_small with brltty on it.

My host system is debian/wheezy ; I installed grml2usb and I'll try soon
grml2iso.

Sorry for my first answer just for Christian ; I didn't look at the adress.

Many thansks.

FTR: grml-small does NOT include brltty.

Yes I know :-) I first tried with small and found that there was no
brltty in it. But, if I have well understood the explanations, it's
possible with grml-live to add packages. Am I wrong ?

It's possible, but note this:
* grml-small does not have aptitude installed, so remastering fails
unless you fix that.
* Also, remastering 2011.05 with the current version of grml-live is
quite hard.
