+ <h1>Release Notes:<br />grml 0.9 - codename <a
+ href="/faq/#releasename">dioptrienotto</a> (20061206)</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>Kernel</h3>
+
+ <p>Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.18.3 including <a
+ href="/kernel/">several patches</a> (Speakup, Squashfs,...) and
+ additional modules:</p>
+
+<pre class="rahmen">
+ acerhk, acx100, adp94xx, arcmsr, bcm5700, cowloop, drbd8, et131x,
+ exmap, ipw3945, ivtv, kqemu, kvm, linux-wlan-ng, madwifi, misdn,
+ ndiswrapper, nozomi, openafs, pcan, qc-usb, r1000, realtime-lsm,
+ rt2400, rt2500, rt2570, rt2x00, sl-modem, snd-bt-sco, spca5xx,
+ sysprof, tidev, tpm_emulator, truecrypt, unionfs
+</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://deb.grml.org/">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><strong>swap partitions:</strong> by default grml does
+ <strong>not</strong> automatically use swap partitions anymore.
+ Run 'grml-swapon' when running grml or boot using 'grml swap'
+ for enabling all detected and usable swap partitions.</p>
+
+ <p><strong>software raid:</strong> starting with grml 0.9
+ booting the system searches for present software raid arrays.
+ The configuration file /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf will be generated
+ by default, to disable this feature use the bootopion noswraid.
+ The arrays are <strong>not</strong> autoassembled by default.
+ Either boot using the bootoption swraid or run 'Start
+ mdadm-raid' when running grml already to assemble present
+ software raid arrays.</p>
+
+ <p><strong>zsh global aliases:</strong> the global aliases
+ setup has been changed; now the global aliases (like: 'G' is
+ same '|grep') are not enabled by default any more, instead a
+ new setup named 'powerful abbreviation expansion' is available.
+ Usage example: type 'N' and press ',.' to expand the 'N' into
+ '&>/dev/null'. Take a look at <a
+ href="/zsh/#grmlzshrefcard">the grml zsh refcard</a> for more
+ details.</p>
+
