hmm... less likely at the moment. I tried to use grml-live for several
times, but in the end gave it up. I now build my live system squashfs
solely using grml-debootstrap. I still haven't got around to try my
plan yet, but I believe once I succeeded, it is just a matter of two
or three extra lines of code in the wiki (that uses aufs to capture
the changes) before calling grml-debootstrap.

Due to the time constrain, I can only do small fixes/enhancements at
the moment, not big architectural restructure. Nonetheless, I still
thinking building the live system using grml-debootstrap *might* have
a less steep learning curve, with the help of clear instruction in
wiki -- which is what I planned to write if I succeed.

cheers
