He means the initial hard drive install:

Grml2hd does a "copy all" operation.  There was discussion months ago,
check archives, or view /usr/sbin/grml2hd.  The running CD-ROM copies
itself to the hard drive leveraging chroot for mods.  (We prefer grml2hd
over grml2usb for usb devices > 2 GB or so.)

 The hard drive can boot like a live CD with hardware autodetection but
is still normal Debian.  That is a huge advantage over distros like
Puppy, Dyne, and even Damn Small Linux which uses outdated kernels
(2.4.x last I looked) and software.  Grml offers very up-to-date
packages.

Mika: Add deborphan to the end of grml2hd?
