28 <h1>Release Notes:<br />grml-small 0.4-rc1 - codename <a
29 href="/faq/#releasename">Springginckerl</a> (20070508)</h1>
31 <p><strong>Notice: grml-small 0.4-rc1 is a RELEASE CANDIDATE and not
32 yet the stable release!</strong></p>
36 <p>grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux
37 software especially for users of texttools and system administrators. grml
38 provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example as a
39 rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working environment. It
40 is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you don't even need a
41 harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1
42 GiB of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
44 <p>Whereas grml provides about 2.1 GB of software on a 700 MB
45 ISO, grml-small is a flavor with only ~58 MB ISO-size (~170 MB
46 uncompressed). It does not provide a lot of software but the
47 essential stuff for being a rescue system on a business card
48 CD-ROM or a small USB device. You can use the Debian package
49 management system to install software on the fly (assuming you
50 have network access to a Debian mirror). Take a look at the '<a
51 href="/files/">Debian-Information'-section</a> if you are
52 searching for the package list.</p>
