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.
+ +Bugfixes
+ +None yet, as it is the initial release. :)
+ +Kernel
+ +Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.26.8 including several patches. Notice: some more modules + aren't pre-installed but available through the grml-repository.
+ +See grml.org/kernel/ for more details + regarding the grml-kernel.
+ +Packages / Software
+ +Details about shipped packages and their versions on grml are + available at the Debian section. See dpkg_get_selections + for a main package listing and dpkg_list for a more detailed + list of packages shipped with grml64-small 2008.11.
