28 <h1>Release Notes:<br />grml-small 0.4 - codename <a
29 href="/faq/#releasename">Springinckerl</a> (20070518)</h1>
33 <p>grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux
34 software especially for users of texttools and system administrators.
35 grml provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example
36 as a rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working
37 environment. It is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you
38 don't even need a harddisk to run it, unless you want to (use grml2hd
39 for this). Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1 GiB
40 of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
42 <p>Whereas grml provides about 2.1 GB of software on a 700 MB
43 ISO, grml-small is a flavor with only ~58 MB ISO-size (~170 MB
44 uncompressed). It does not provide a lot of software but the
45 essential stuff for being a rescue system on a business card
46 CD-ROM or a small USB device. You can use the Debian package
47 management system to install software on the fly (assuming you
48 have network access to a Debian mirror). Take a look at the '<a
49 href="/files/">Debian-Information'-section</a> if you are
50 searching for the package list.</p>
