Release Notes for Grml 2013.07-rc1 - codename Hefeknuddler

+ +

About

+ +

This Grml release provides fresh software packages after the + Debian stable release (AKA wheezy) has been released. As usual it also + incorporates up2date hardware support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml release.

+ +

New features

+ +

new boot option encpasswd: takes a hashed password as + argument, setting password of users root and grml to the specified + value + +

+ +

Important Changes

+ +

UTC is used as default time zone, to use a different setting + you can use the tz boot option (usage example: tz=Europe/Vienna) + +
To match the behaviour with the ssh boot option the + passwd boot option now also sets the password for user root - + and not only for user 'grml'. + +
grml-autoconfig (and its GRMLCFG feature) doesn't support floppy + disks any longer + +

+ +
