I got grml installed on the Dell Latitude C-800 laptop. I wasn't sure about the laptop's keyboard so plugged a standard keyboard into the ps/2 port and used that. Also got the laptop hooked up to ethernet. Interestingly aptitude update found some archives in /etc/sources.list that errored out as if they were no longer in existence. Could have been down temporarily possibly though. I'll check that later. Probably by tomorrow I'll subscribe to the grml-users list.
