13 GRML - Knoppix for sysadmins and users of text tools
14 ====================================================
16 grml is a bootable CD (Live-CD) based on Knoppix and Debian. grml includes a
17 collection of GNU/Linux software especially for users of texttools and system
18 administrators. grml provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for
19 example as a rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working
20 environment. It is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you don't
21 even need a harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes
22 about 2.1 GiB of software and documentation on the CD.
27 Release 0.4 - Codename Eierspass (20050515)
28 ===========================================
30 Fixed several bugs, including:
32 #13 starting hotplug fails without error message
33 #14 grml-0.3: pekwm will not start
34 #15 grml-0.3: wrong vermagic for quickcam.ko
36 Improved hardware detection.
37 Several improved, updated and extended configuration files.
39 New grml-scripts (some selected ones):
41 * grml-network: frontend for several network setup scripts
42 * grml-hwinfo: collect hardware information
43 * grml-vpnc-tugraz: connect to WLAN of TU Graz
44 * xsay: text-to-speech system (e.g. run 'grml-x wmi',
45 select some text via mouse and press 'ctrl-alt-v'
47 New bootparameters/cheatcodes:
49 * grml small - disable some consoles when booting (saves a
51 * nofb - disable framebuffer
52 * floppy - boot from floppy disk
53 * hd - boot from (local) primary harddisk
57 * X.org server including new grml-x system ('grml-x')
58 * unionfs-integration: full write support on CD; now it is possible
59 to run, configure and install software without any workarounds
60 * new init-system: switched from "colors" to lsb-function-style
61 * iptstate running on tty10
62 * vesafb-tng: advanced framebuffer technology.
63 Notice: use kerneloption video= instead of vga=!
64 * udev integration: just run 'mount /mnt/external1' to mount your
65 USB-Stick (assuming /dev/sda1 as corresponding partition)
66 * grml-terminalserver: boot grml via network (either via PXE or floppy
67 disk), see http://grml.org/terminalserver/ for more details.
71 * Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.11.8 including several patches
72 (MPPC/MPPE, Reiser4, Speakup, Squashfs,...) and additional
75 acx100, at76c503a, bcm4400, bcm5700, eagle-usb, hostap,
76 ipw2100, ipw2200, loop-aes, loop-aes-ciphers, madwifi,
77 ndiswrapper, qc-usb-modules, realtime-lsm, shfs, sl-modem,
80 * Instead of compiling Kernel for 386 we decided to compile for
81 systems running 468 or above.
83 See http://grml.org/kernel/ for more details.
87 * Updated all packages to Debian Unstable branch by 20050508.
88 * Updated memtest to Memtest86+ V1.55.
89 * Updated windows-binaries (putty-collection/winscp) to latest version.
90 * grml2hd: - added dialog-frontend
91 - select username for harddisk-installation
92 - choose filesystem (available: ext2/3, XFS, JFS, reiserfs)
