+ <h1>Release Notes:<br />grml 0.8 - codename <a
+ href="/faq/#releasename">Funkenzutzler</a> (20060813)</h1>
+
+ <h3>About</h3>
+
+ <p>grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux
+ software especially for users of texttools and system administrators. grml
+ provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example as a
+ rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working environment. It
+ is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you don't even need a
+ harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1
+ GiB of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
+
+ <p><strong><a href="/donations/">We do need your help!</a></strong></p>
+
+ <h3>Bugfixes</h3>
+
+ <p>Fixed several bugs and issues reported on <a
+ href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml_0.7">grml_0.7 @

+
+ <li>grml-policy-rc.d: a wrapper script for invoke-rc.d to avoid automatical

+ /etc/environment)
+
+ <li>grml-setkeyboard: set keyboard layout system-wide on grml system via

+ <h3>Kernel</h3>
+
+ <p>Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.17.7 including several patches (Reiser4,
+ Speakup, Squashfs,...) and additional modules:</p>
+
+<pre class="rahmen">
+ acerhk, acx100, adp94xx, bcm5700, cowloop, dazuko, drbd0.7, et131x, exmap, ipw3945,
+ ivtv0.7, kqemu, linux-wlan-ng, lufs, madwifi, ndiswrapper, nozomi, openafs, pcan,
+ pwc, qc-usb, realtime-lsm, rt2x00, rt2400, rt2500, rt2570, sl-modem, snd-bt-sco,
+ spca5xx, sysprof, thinkpad, tidev, truecrypt, vaiostat, zd1211
+</pre>
+
+ <p>Notice: some more modules (for example <a
+ href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=ati">fglrx</a> and <a
+ href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=nvidia">nvidia</a>) are not
+ pre-installed but available through the <a
+ href="http://grml.org/repos/">grml-repository</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>See <a href="/kernel/">grml.org/kernel/</a> for more details regarding
+ the grml-kernel.</p>
+
+ <h3>Important Changes</h3>
+
+ <p>The <strong>software RAID devices</strong> like /dev/md0 aren't created
+ by default anymore. See /etc/udev/mdadm.rules and <a
+ href="http://bugs.debian.org/381181">#381181</a> for the reason. If you need
+ /dev/md*-devices just run the following command (you will find this tip in
+ 'grml-tips mdadm' as well):</p>
+
+<pre class="rahmen">
+cd /dev && MAKEDEV md
+</pre>
+
+ <p>There might be <a
+ href="http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2006/08/01/problems-running-dri-with-current-xorg-on-debianunstable/">problems
+ running DRI with current X.org</a>. Check whether
+ <strong>DRI/3d-support</strong> works for you via running:
+
+<pre class="rahmen">
+% glxinfo | grep direct
+direct rendering: Yes</pre>
+
+ <p>If it does not return 'Yes' the following command might solve your problem:</p>
+
+<pre class="rahmen">
+apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri/experimental libgl1-mesa-glx/experimental
+</pre>
