grml-debootstrap 0.7

I just uploaded a new version of grml-debootstrap to the grml-testing pool providing many new features. One nifty feature is setting variables via commandline. This allows you to install Debian with just one command and 2 keystrokes(!) (one 'y' for starting execution of grml-debootstrap and another one for setting the password of user root, this can be automated as well of course if you want to). I just installed a plain Debian system via running:

# grml-debootstrap --target /dev/hda2 --grub hd0 --groot hd0,1

But that's not all. You can install a plain Debian system full automatic(!) via bootoption debian2hd. I just did a full automatic installation with grml-debootstrap 0.7 and grml-autoconfig 0.6.39 running on grml-small via booting with:

debian2hd target=/dev/hda1 grub=hd0 groot=hd0,0 mirror=ftp://ftp.tugraz.at/mirror/debian password=foobar

Not a single keystroke behind the commandline on the bootprompt. Rocking! :-)
