[Grml] boring

[Martin Yazdzik]

Dear Mika and Friends,

What a boring install!  Everything worked otob on my dell laptop, and
the tz config, which used to cause hair pulling was one simple command
and voila.

While I used the ati installer, which worked perfectly to get hardware
accel, and ndiswrapper, because the bcm4306 driver still only allows "b"
speeds, nothing took anytime at all.

Now, here is the question from the idiot newbie:

Since grml .9 installed easily and cleanly on /sda4, but, obviously, I
could not risk the change in the production environment, can I more
easily upgrade the existing grml .8 with all the data and config that I
need to .9,  without a lot of brimborium, or can I somehow install lilo
to the mbr from the newly installed grml, and use the old partition for
data or somthing, without making a mess that a novce cannot clean up?

Is the apparent increased speed, by feel, not measured, due to newer
kernel, better fglrx drivers, or what?

Best wishes from a grateful user,

Martin
