right - just checking, as for me, it makes no difference, but to someone running grml-x for the first time, and not knowing what to do, it may be a confusing.

Right - I think your method is better for now, as the hardware detection, if wrong, would render scd0 useless, whereas having scd0 as hdc, then realising one cannot impement dma will lead to someone figuring out fairly quickly to boot with the correct parameter, since this issue is discussed a lot.

- interesting to note that my orginal cheat, grml-setlang to us english utf8 set the /etc/defaults/locale to new york time zone - 1.0 has the time zone commented out, so I just edited it by hand - I presume you did this because utf8 is now the default encoding... again, it took me thirty seconds to correct the issue, but a note in the wiki to make sure that the time zone is set appropriately in the default locale file is now in order, as it is not the first place people tend to look, since, even if the TZ is correct in the /etc files, if the default locale is not correct, the read of the bios clock will not be. (Thank you, Microsoft for making this so complicated ;) )<BR>

I do agree that the reason I use the grml isntaller is to avoid the lugubrious lethargy of the debian installer, so, yet again, your decision is correct to avoid more questions, but this issue for someone unfamiliar needs just that one sentence clarification at the wiki page you noted.<BR>
<BR>
At the moment, all is well with grml.<BR>

Best,<BR>
