Hi,

neither I understand it, but what really helped was to lowercase the
'TIMEOUT' setting.

I am using grml2usb as installed from your repo:

# - - - -
deb     http://deb.grml.org/ grml-testing main
deb-src http://deb.grml.org/ grml-testing main
# - - - -

# dpkg -l grml2usb
ii  grml2usb    0.13.8       amd64      install Grml system / ISO to usb device

I really just changed the case as you can see from the diff, if there is
any additional info or any testing, do not hesitate to ask, I am ready to
provide. I am on the IRC #grml as 'bubak' you are 'mika', I guess.

Best Regards,
martin
