27 <h1>Release Notes for grml64-small 2008.11 - codename <a
28 href="/faq/#releasename">Schluchtenscheisser</a></h1>
32 <p>grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux
33 software especially for users of texttools and system administrators.
34 grml provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example
35 as a rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working
36 environment. It is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you
37 don't even need a harddisk to run it, unless you want to (use grml2hd
38 for this). Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1GB
39 of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
41 <p>Whereas grml provides about 2.1 GB of software on a 700 MB ISO,
42 grml-small is a flavor with only ~75 MB ISO-size (~240 MB
43 uncompressed). It does not provide a lot of software but the
44 essential stuff for being a rescue system on a business card CD-ROM
45 or a small USB device. You can use the Debian package management
46 system to install software on the fly (assuming you have network
47 access to a Debian mirror). Take a look at the <a
48 href="/files/">'Debian-Information'-section</a> if you are
49 searching for the package list.</p>
53 <p>None yet, as it is the initial release. :)</p>

58 href="/kernel/">several patches</a>. Notice: some more modules
59 aren't pre-installed but available through the <a
60 href="http://deb.grml.org/">grml-repository</a>.</p>
