Verified, works.

Nowadays grml-autoconfig adjusts configuration via /etc/grml/autoconfig.local 
and provides a notice that the configuration of e.g. /etc/network/interfaces 
won't be modified by grml-autoconfig at all.

Works as intended - closing this issue therefore.

Description: 
 grml-autoconfig - main bootup process of a grml system
Changes: 
 grml-autoconfig (0.8.18) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Drop support for /etc/grml/autoconfig.small. It causes
     more headaches and work than benefit. Instead make sure
     to properly support grml-small in the "grml-large"
     configuration. [Testing: issue573]
   * Change forensic bootoption handling: let's add 'forensic' to
     the kernel append line as well now.
   * Make sure to proberly support /live/image/bootparams/ again.

Verified, working on it.

Bugreport by Peter on grml-mailinglist:

I did the harddisk install (grml_small) and I _unselected_ dhcp.
I noticed on startup that pump was working, and in fact , the dhcp option was 
activated ( = yes ) in the autoconfig file.

-> pump shouldn't be running if DHCP was disabled within grml2hd, needs 
investigation (I guess this might be a grml-small issue).
