[Grml] using persistence

[John G. Heim]

Well, what I ended up doing is passing the 
"mypath=/home/grml/persistent" parameter to grml2usb.

export ISO=grml64-full_2013.09.iso
export GRML=/dev/sdb1
grml2usb --bootoptions="persistence" 
--bootoptions="mypath=/home/grml/persistent" "${ISO}" "${GRML}"

I then copied my script to /home/grml/persistent/. So now after booting 
the grml usb stick, I can just type the script name.  I think I could 
probably have passed a different bootoption to run the script but it is 
an install script and I figured this is safer. Anyway, the combination 
of persistence and bootoptions did the trick.
