<li>Switch from file-rc to systemd as init system.
grml-live (the build system for creating Grml (based) Linux live systems) still supports non-systemd systems using file-rc, though we don't plan to maintain this in the long run.
Due to the change to systemd some boot options in the current release might not work as before and some further issues might have been unnoticed yet.
- Please <a href="/bugs/">let us know</a> if you should stumble upon any such issues.
