13 GRML - Knoppix for sysadmins and users of text tools
14 ====================================================
16 grml is a bootable CD (Live-CD) based on Knoppix and Debian. grml includes a
17 collection of GNU/Linux software especially for users of texttools and system
18 administrators. grml provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for
19 example as a rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working
20 environment. It is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you don't
21 even need a harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes
22 about 2 GiB of software and documentation on the CD.
