37 <p>This Grml release provides fresh software packages from Debian
38 testing (AKA jessie). As usual it also incorporates up2date hardware
39 support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml
46 <li>new boot option <em>getfile.retries=...</em>: by specifying a number it controls the number of download retries for the netscript=... and netscript=... boot options (defaults to '10' if unset), usage example: 'getfile.retries=42'
48 <li><a href="/grml2usb/">grml2usb</a>: improved check for bootflag, new option --skip-bootflag and Python3 support
50 <li>grml-quickconfig: display IP and password if ssh boot option is used
52 <li>grml-lang: support language settings for Italy
54 <li>grml-hwinfo: support i2c-tools's decode-dimms, edac-utils and mcelog
56 <li><a href="/zsh/">grml-zshrc</a>:
59 <li>rework and unify $PATH handling
60 <li>several improvements in battery information/reporting (incl. support for FreeBSD + OpenBSD)
61 <li>extend dchange() to support apt-get and multiple package names
66 <li><a href="/grml-debootstrap/">grml-debootstrap</a>:
69 <li>Adjust locale handling (LANG/LANGUAGE) to match with Debian wheezy defaults
70 <li>Initial packer/vagrant/autotest setup
71 <li>New option --vm to install VMs into LVs and such
72 <li>New option --defaultinterfaces to install default /etc/network/interfaces
73 <li>Set up default /etc/network/interfaces with dhcp for eth0 in VM use case
74 <li>Copy /etc/network/interfaces from host system, unless --nointerfaces is used or target is a VM
75 <li>Support --nokernel option to skip installation of default kernel images
76 <li>Support execution of --grub when installing to target directory
77 <li>Switch default filesystem from ext3 to ext4
78 <li>Provide --debug option for very verbose execution
85 <h3>Important Changes</h3>
89 <li>Switch from http.debian.net to ftp.debian.org as default mirror in grml-live: because of unreliable mirror usage with http.debian.net the grml-live system uses ftp.debian.org as its main mirror
93 <h3>Bits & bolts</h3>
96 <li>Linux kernel is based on <b>3.16.7</b>.</li>
97 <li>Fixed several bugs from the <a href="http://bts.grml.org/grml/">bug tracking system</a>.</li>
