10.07.2004
We have made some more design-decisions. Due to lack of time we changed our goal from creating a distribution from scratch/source based to building a distribution based on debian/knoppix. We don't want to reinvent the wheel (:=hardware-recognition, packetmanagement,..) so we try to use existing infrastructure and improve things we don't like that much.
October 2003 - Juli 2004
We collected ressources for building a new distribution (many ideas, websites,...). We created a vmware-image based on yard, wrote some zsh-scripts (zsh will be the default-shell of grml) and wrote a first (unpublished) design-guide.
