+
+ <h3>About</h3>
+
+ <p>After the downsizing and cleanup release 2011.12 this release brings
+ some additional tools and the grml-small flavour is back again.</p>
+
+ <h3>New features</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>grml-hwinfo: Support numactl to retrieve NUMA information
+ <li>Re-add simplifed support for brltty
+ <li>Support 9p-virtio filesystem for mounting the DCS-directory (Debs, Configuration and Scripts - see man grml-autoconfig)
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Important Changes</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The ssh bootoption sets the specified/generated ssh passwort for user 'grml' <i>and</i> (new) for root
+ <li>Using /media as default mount target
+ <li>Dropped the grml-feedback tool
+ <li>Add a few kB of lines made of # charaters to the end of the main syslinux config file
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Bits & bolts</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Linux kernel is based on <b>3.3.6</b>. No additional modules are shipped.</li>
+ <li>Fixed several bugs from the <a href="http://bts.grml.org/grml/">bug tracking system</a>.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Important Reminders</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>Booting Grml via PXE? Do not forget to add the live-media-path=...
+ bootoption, otherwise booting will fail with 'No supported filesystem
+ images found at /live'. Usage instructions:
+ live-media-path=/live/$FLAVOUR (where $FLAVOUR corresponds to
+ grml64-full, grml32-full, grml64-small, grml32-small) - for further
+ details visit <a
+ href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=terminalserver">terminalserver
+ page in the Grml-Wiki</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>Booting Grml from Harddisk? Do not forget to add the
+ live-media-path=... bootoption. Or even better: use grml-rescueboot.
+ Full details at <a
+ href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=rescueboot">rescueboot in the
+ Grml-Wiki</a>.</li>
+
+ </ul>
