+ <h1>Release Notes:<br />grml64 0.2-rc1 - codename <a
+ href="/faq/#releasename">Schwammerlklauber</a> (20070518)</h1>
+
+ <p><strong>Notice: grml64 0.2-rc1 is a RELEASE CANDIDATE and not
+ yet the stable release!</strong></p>
+
+ <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, unless you want to (use grml2hd
+ for this). Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1GB
+ of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
+
+ <p>Whereas grml is meant for use on 32 bit systems, grml64
+ provides support for 64 bit platforms. It is based on the amd64
+ port of Debian. Take a look at the '<a
+ href="/files/#debian">Debian-Information'-section</a> if you are
+ searching for the package list.</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=grml64_0.1">grml64_0.1 @
+ grml-wiki</a>.</p>
+
+
+ <h3>New features</h3>
+
+ <p>Several improved, updated and extended configuration files.</p>
+
+ <h4>New grml-scripts (some selected ones):</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>arename.pl</strong>: rename audio files by looking at a file's tagging
+ information</li>
+
+ <li><a href="/grml-live/"><strong>grml-live</strong></a>: build
+ framework based on <a
+ href="http://fai-project.org/">FAI</a> for generating
+ a grml and Debian based Linux Live system (CD/ISO)</li>
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <h4>New bootparameters/cheatcodes:</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li><strong>micvol</strong>: configure mixer/ volume settings of
+ microphone channel; usage: micvol=$number
+
+ <li><strong>noconsolefont</strong>: skip setting console font via
+ consolechars
+
+ <li><strong>nogrmlacpi</strong>: disable acpi stuff inside
+ grml-autoconfig without having to boot using noacpi (which triggers
+ kernel code actions)
+
+ <li><strong>lvm</strong>: activate present Logical Volumes (LVM)
+
+ <li><strong>nolvm</strong>: completely disable LVM code/checks; by
+ default (so without using a special bootoption) grml runs 'lvdisplay'
+ and if something can be found the user gets a hint to execute 'Start
+ lvm2' to set it up
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <h4><a href="/grml2hd/">grml2hd</a> (install grml to harddisk):</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>use --insecure for passwordbox so user gets feedback when typing
+ password (it's '***' of course and not plaintext).
+
+ <li>check for dmraid signatures
+
+ <li>support installation on LVM devices. Usage example:
+ 'LVM=/dev/mapper/grml2hd-lvm grml2hd'</li>
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>See <a href="/grml2hd/">grml.org/grml2hd/</a> for more
+ details regarding grml2hd.</p>
+
+ <h4><a href="/terminalserver/">grml-terminalserver</a> (boot
+ grml via network)</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>updated initrd generation for use with live-initramfs, providing a
+ reworked initial bootprocess</li>
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>See <a href="/terminalserver/">grml.org/terminalserver/</a>
+ for more details regarding grml-terminalserver.</p>
+
+ <h4>Special new features:</h4>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>all grml ISOs are automatically generated using the new <a
+ href="/grml-live/">grml-live framework</a></li>
+
+ <li>completely reworked initial bootprocess, based on live-initramfs
+ now</li>
+
+ <li>Squashfs with <a
+ href="http://www.squashfs-lzma.org/">LZMA
+ support</a></li>
+
+ <li>optimised the system to have as few wakeups as possibel (<25
+ wakeups/s in default startup)</li>
+
+ <li>updated to X.org 7.3</li>
+
+ <li>updated to libc6 2.7</li>
+
+ <li>the lang=-bootoption supports dvorak keyboard layouts (using
+ parameters dvorak, dvorak-iso or dvorak-utf8)</li>
+
+ <!--
+ <li>support for Virtualbox guest additions</li>
+ -->
+
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Kernel</h3>
+
+ <p>Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.23.11 including <a
+ href="/kernel/">several patches</a> and additional modules:</p>
+
+<pre class="rahmen">
+
+ acx100 at76-usb atl2 aufs drbd8 exmap gspca ipw3945 ivtv
+ kqemu loop-aes lzma madwifi ndiswrapper nozomi openafs
+ qc-usb realtime-lsm rt2400 rt2500 squashfs sysprof
+ truecrypt
+
+</pre>
+
+ <p>Notice: some more modules
+
+ <!-- <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>The bootoption <strong>expert</strong> has been dropped. It is
+ deprecated nowadays. The bootoption <strong>splash</strong> has been
+ renamed into <em>textsplash</em> to avoid clashes with graphical
+ bootsplashes.</p>
+
+ <p>Due to the new initial bootprocess (which is based on
+ live-initramfs) some <strong>bootoptions</strong> might not work as
+ expected or changed its behaviour. The grml team is working on merging
+ outstanding features. If you think you found a bootoption that does not
+ work as expected/documented please <a
+ href="http://grml.org/bugs/">report it</a>.</p>
+
+ <h3>Packages / Software</h3>
+
+ <p>Details about shipped packages and their versions on grml are
+ available at the <a href="/files/#debian">Debian section</a>. See <a
+ href="/files/release-0.2-grml64/dpkg_get_selections">dpkg_get_selections</a>
+ for a main package listing and <a
+ href="/files/release-0.2-grml64/dpkg_list">dpkg_list</a> for a more detailed
+ list of packages shipped with grml 1.1.</p>
+
+ <h3>Updates</h3>
+
+ <p>Updated all packages to Debian Unstable branch by 20071225.</p>
+
+ <p>Removed 91 packages [please notice that some of them are available under
+ different names/in different packages]:</p>
