Hi friends,

I am using grml 1.1 in Parallel Desktop under MacOSX.  Everything looks good
except that I have a small problem.

Here are the steps to produce:

* ALT+F4
* grml $ grml-x fvwm
* In fvwm: I started FireFox, Dillo, and etc
* exit fvwm
* ALT+F1
* # save-config -all
* # mount /dev/hda /mnt/GRMLCFG
* # mv config.tbz /mnt/GRMLCFG
* # reboot

After rebooted, it shows me this error:

--

These directories are the directories created by grml user before the reboot
time.

It seems to me that whatever config files inside grml's home directory has
been modified, after save-config and placed it in GRMLCFG disk, then
rebooted, these error will come.

Any idea?

Thanks,
