This sounds like a bug. I've put it into our BTS:
http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue573

/etc/init.d/networking is configured for runlevel "S".

/etc/resolv.conf is a symlink pointing to
/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf because grml uses resolvconf by
default.

grml-small doesn't provide any locales (due to space limitations) so
the only possible choise AFAICS is "C".

> Again, please forgive if these are newbie questions and thanks for you help

No need to, thanks for your feedback and the bugreport. :)
