- <h1>Release Notes:<br />grml 0.9-rc1 - codename <a
- href="/faq/#releasename">dioptrienotto</a> (20061127)</h1>
-
- <p><strong>Notice: grml 0.9-rc1 is a RELEASE CANDIDATE and not
- yet the stable release!</strong></p>
-
- <h3>About</h3>
-
- <p>grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux
- software especially for users of texttools and system administrators. grml
- provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example as a
- rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working environment. It
- is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you don't even need a
- harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1
- GiB of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
-

- <h3>Kernel</h3>
-
- <p>Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.18.3 including <a
- href="/kernel/">several patches</a> (Speakup, Squashfs,...) and
- additional modules:</p>
-
-<pre class="rahmen">
- acerhk, acx100, adp94xx, arcmsr, bcm5700, cowloop, drbd8, et131x,
- exmap, ipw3945, ivtv, kqemu, kvm, linux-wlan-ng, madwifi, misdn,
- ndiswrapper, nozomi, openafs, pcan, qc-usb, r1000, realtime-lsm,
- rt2400, rt2500, rt2570, rt2x00, sl-modem, snd-bt-sco, spca5xx,
- sysprof, tidev, tpm_emulator, truecrypt, unionfs
-</pre>
-
- <p>Notice: some more modules (for example <a
- href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=ati">fglrx</a> and <a
- href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=nvidia">nvidia</a>) are not
- pre-installed but available through the <a
- href="http://grml.org/repos/">grml-repository</a>.</p>
-
- <p>See <a href="/kernel/">grml.org/kernel/</a> for more details regarding
- the grml-kernel.</p>
-
- <h3>Important Changes</h3>
-
- <p><strong>swap partitions:</strong> by default grml does
- <strong>not</strong> automatically use swap partitions anymore.
- Run 'grml-swapon' when running grml or boot using 'grml swap'
- for enabling all detected and usable swap partitions.</p>
-
- <p><strong>software raid:</strong> starting with grml 0.9
- booting the system tries to enable all present software raid
- arrays. If you do <strong>not</strong> want to enable software
- raid boot using one of the bootoptions 'noraid', 'forensic' or
- 'raid=noautodetect'.</p>
-
- <p><strong>zsh global aliases:</strong> the global aliases
- setup has been changed; now the global aliases (like: 'G' is
- same '|grep') are not enabled by default any more, instead a
- new setup named 'powerful abbreviation expansion' is available.
- Usage example: type 'N' and press ',.' to expand the 'N' into
- '&>/dev/null'. Take a look at <a
- href="/zsh/#grmlzshrefcard">the grml zsh refcard</a> for more
- details.</p>
-
