Is it
- a rescue disk with utils?
then why not call it "rescue-disk" or so because it has no
strong connection to the GRUB boot loader (at least no stronger
than e.g. to fdisk, dd etc)
- only the /boot/grub directory on an image
then I'd suggest to not make an extra package out of it and
waste 1.4MB for it :-)
Write a 50-line shell skript that
- makes a filesystem
- copies /boot/grub
- copies a given kernel image
- installes grub
and put this script into the grub package where everybody
already misses it...
- something completely different?
what?
