Well, I assume you mean "chown grml.grml <dir>". ;)

But that would break permissions.

Suggestion: I could check for UID 1000 and GUID 1000 and run "chmod
$USER_WITH_ID_1000:$GROUP_WITH_ID_1000" instead (already done that
way in some code where it's not live-cd only). This would be less
static without breaking any permissions. However you name your
$USER_WITH_ID_1000 and $GROUP_WITH_ID_1000 - it would work then for
you too. Ok?
