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

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

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