Release Notes for grml64-small 2008.11 - codename Schluchtenscheisser
- -About
- -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.
- -Whereas grml provides about 2.1 GB of software on a 700 MB ISO, - grml-small is a flavor with only ~75 MB ISO-size (~240 MB - uncompressed). It does not provide a lot of software but the - essential stuff for being a rescue system on a business card CD-ROM - or a small USB device. You can use the Debian package management - system to install software on the fly (assuming you have network - access to a Debian mirror). Take a look at the 'Debian-Information'-section if you are - searching for the package list.
