- <h1>Kernel</h1>
-
- <p>The kernel 2.6 provided by the grml system is based on the latest
- stable(!) vanilla kernel (taken from <a
- href="http://kernel.org/">kernel.org</a>) we consider as 'useful and
- working'. The grml-kernel includes <a href="#patches">several patches</a> and
- <a href="#modules">modules</a>. If you experience any problems please don't
- hesitate to <a href="/contact/">contact us</a>!</p>
-
- <h2>grml 0.5</h2>
-
- <p>Release 0.5 provides kernel 2.6.13:</p>
-
-<pre class="rahmen">
-grml@grml ~ % uname -a
-Linux grml 2.6.13-grml #1 Sat Oct 22 11:05:29 CEST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux</pre>
-
- <p>The <a href="config-2.6.13-grml">kernel configuration of 2.6.13-grml</a>
- is available online. If you want to patch a vanilla kernel without applying
- all the single patches take a look at the <a

- <h2>grml-small 0.1</h2>
-
- <p>grml-small is a very small flavor of the grml-system. It includes a
- kernel based on 2.6.12 with additional patches but less features than the
- full grml system:</p>

-
- <h3><a name="squashfs"></a>Squashfs</h3>
-
- <p>Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is
- intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e. in
- cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block
- device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is
- needed.<br />
-
- Via using the module loop it is possible to mount a filesystem file. squashfs
- is a "loop" with (de)compression (Compressed Loopback Device) and it is
- possible to mount a compressed filesystem like a block device and seamlessly
- decompress its data while accessing it.<br />
-
- Whereas Knoppix uses the cloop mechanism, grml is based on the newer
- mechanism squashfs. The filesystem has been compressed into the file
- "/GRML/GRML" and is mounted by the initial init process using squashfs.</p>

- wireless LAN card. In addition to this, it has support for normal station
- operations in BSS and possible also in IBSS. WPA and RSN (WPA2) is supported
- when used with accompanied tools, wpa_supplicant (WPA/RSN Supplicant) and
- hostapd (WPA/RSN Authenticator).</p>

- for some older ones, and still works on the newer ones. Recent kernel
- sources include a SONYPI module that provides similar functionality to this
- one, but it cannot change LCD brightness on some laptops where this module
