30 <h1>Release Notes:<br />grml 1.0 - codename <a
31 href="/faq/#releasename">Meilenschwein</a> (20070518)</h1>
35 <p>grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux
36 software especially for users of texttools and system administrators.
37 grml provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example
38 as a rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working
39 environment. It is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you
40 don't even need a harddisk to run it, unless you want to (use grml2hd
41 for this). Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1 GiB
42 of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
46 <p>Fixed several bugs and issues reported on <a
47 href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml_0.9">grml_0.9 @

162 <p>Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.20.11 including <a

183 regarding the grml-kernel.</p>
185 <h3>Important Changes</h3>
187 <p><a name="utf8"></a><strong>UTF-8:</strong> grml uses UTF8 as
188 default encoding. You can deactivate UTF-8 environment via
189 booting with bootoption lang=$LANG-iso. Some software is not
190 yet UTF-8 aware (problem is located upstream, neither at Debian
191 or grml itself). More information about UTF-8 at grml can be
193 href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=utf8">utf8 webpage in
194 the grml-wiki</a>.</p>
196 <p><strong>get_tw_cli / get_3ware:</strong> get_tw_cli has been
197 renamed into get_3ware as we support 3DM2 as well now.</p>
199 <p><strong>fluxbox:</strong> the keybindings have been restored to
200 their original (fluxbox upstream) behaviour. Now Alt+F# switches
201 between the desktops, Alt+Shift+F# sends an application to another
202 desktop. If you want to get the old behaviour back you can use the zsh
203 function fluxkey-change.</p>
205 <h3>Packages / Software</h3>

208 available at the <a href="/files/#debian">Debian section</a>. See <a
