+ <h1>Release Notes for Grml 2011.05 - codename <a
+ href="/faq/#releasename">Just Mari</a></h1>
+
+ <h3>About</h3>
+
+ <p>Grml is a bootable live system (Live-CD) based on Debian. It
+ includes a collection of GNU/Linux software especially for system
+ administrators and users of texttools. Grml provides automatic hardware
+ detection. Grml is the perfect rescue system, but you can also use it 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 GB of software and documentation on the live system.</p>
+
+ <h3>New features</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li><strong>New Linux kernel version</strong> based on 2.6.38.7</li>
+
+ <li>Initramfs is now XZ compressed (smaller)</li>
+
+ <li><a href="http://bugs.freestandards.org/show_bug.cgi?id=718">/run</a> has been introduced</li>
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <h4>Special new features:</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li><strong>dns= bootoption</strong> allows for specifying static nameservers.</li>
+
+ <li>grml-feedback, a commandline application for providing feedback to the Grml Team via <a href="http://feedback.grml.org/">feedback.grml.org</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>Easier syntax for grml-quickconfig menu files, existing menu files are still valid.</li>
+
+ <li>
+ <strong>grml2iso small ISOs:</strong> grml2iso can now output small ISOs (~ 20MB) with only kernel and initrd. These are meant to be used with fetch=.
+ </li>
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Important Changes</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>iPXE has replaced gPXE.</li>
+ <li>Core scripts previously found in grml-scripts are now shipped as grml-scripts-core to facilitate reuse on plain Debian systems.</li>
+ <li>Due to popular demand, the ratpoison window manager is included once again.</li>
+ <li>grml-debootstrap adds the security repository for stable and testing installations.</li>
+ <li>grml-quickconfig will be executed on grml-small.</li>
+ <li>More complicated disk configurations (LVM and SW-RAID, though not stacked on each other) are supported when booting Grml via grml-rescueboot or with the findiso= and live-media= bootoptions.</li>
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Kernel</h3>
