Alright, people should just use Tails ("a live CD or live USB that aims at 
preserving your privacy and anonymity" -> http://tails.boum.org/) until someone 
comes up with patch(es) to support "anonym" bootoption within Grml.

I'd like to see this feature, sadly there was no progress for more than 4 years. 
Any chance that someone is taking care of that?

No time but it could be easily (?) done for firefox with an alternative 
profile or the tor button extension.

For global/system wide anom use the proxy variables have to be set 
accordingly/probably use privoxy.

Does anyone care to implement this feature or help in designing and 
implementing that?

Below are two example functions which could be used to to change the proxys via
a pac file

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
 return "SOCKS locallhost 1080";
}

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
 return "DIRECT";
}

Btw. if we support firefox dont forget to mention that the people have to set
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns..

Added a simple script which will do the the mac spoofing thing..

Hmm.  You'll probably want eth0 MAC spoofing at boot-time (don't ask me how...).
 No need to put me on nosy for this one, but nice idea.

Oh, and btw. if we integrate all stuff, like grml-router, setup a router in one
minute and dnsmasq we could provide an anonymous proxy for all windows clients,
which will get the pac file via wpad..

when the autoconfig url is set in the default profile you dont have to modify
~/firefox anymore to change any proxy para, you just can modify it through the
pac file. 
For some more informations and links regarding the pac format, look at
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_Auto-Config

Support anonymous internet use via bootoption 'anonym'.

Configure stuff like:

export http_proxy="localhost:8118"
export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy
export FTP_PROXY=$http_proxy

Firefox needs special handling, suggesting by schula:
