37 <p>After the downsizing and cleanup release 2011.12 this release brings
38 some additional tools and the grml-small flavour is back again.</p>
43 <li>grml-hwinfo: Support numactl to retrieve NUMA information
44 <li>Re-add simplifed support for brltty
45 <li>Support 9p-virtio filesystem for mounting the DCS-directory (Debs, Configuration and Scripts - see man grml-autoconfig)
48 <h3>Important Changes</h3>
51 <li>The ssh bootoption sets the specified/generated ssh passwort for user 'grml' <i>and</i> (new) for root
52 <li>Using /media as default mount target
53 <li>Dropped the grml-feedback tool
54 <li>Add a few kB of lines made of # charaters to the end of the main syslinux config file
57 <h3>Bits & bolts</h3>
60 <li>Linux kernel is based on <b>3.3.6</b>. No additional modules are shipped.</li>
61 <li>Fixed several bugs from the <a href="http://bts.grml.org/grml/">bug tracking system</a>.</li>
64 <h3>Important Reminders</h3>
68 <li>Booting Grml via PXE? Do not forget to add the live-media-path=...
69 bootoption, otherwise booting will fail with 'No supported filesystem
70 images found at /live'. Usage instructions:
71 live-media-path=/live/$FLAVOUR (where $FLAVOUR corresponds to
72 grml64-full, grml32-full, grml64-small, grml32-small) - for further

75 page in the Grml-Wiki</a>.</li>
77 <li>Booting Grml from Harddisk? Do not forget to add the
78 live-media-path=... bootoption. Or even better: use grml-rescueboot.
