Grml - Linux for sysadmins and users of texttools

3+
Further information regarding the Grml live system and available boot
4+
options can be found on pages 2 to 10, reachable via the Help menu.
5+
6+
Note that the options on page 3 (F3) have to be used as *main* boot
7+
options at the bootprompt as they are aliases for further options.
8+
The options mentioned on pages 4-9 have to be used as options after the
9+
main boot option. If you don't need a special main option just use the
10+
default one being 'grml' (which is used in several examples as well).
11+
Example:
12+
13+
grml vga=normal -> disables framebuffer in the default boot mode
14+
forensic vga=normal -> disables framebuffer in the forensic boot mode
15+
16+
Booting with just "vga=normal" won't work as well as "grml forensic"
17+
won't do what you'd expect.
18+
19+
Further information available via the Help menu.
20+
21+
To return to the main boot menu, press ESC or select the back option.
