Release Notes:
grml-small 0.4 - codename Springinckerl (20070518)
-
- About
- -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, unless you want to (use grml2hd - for this). Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1 GiB - of software and documentation on the CD.
- -Whereas grml provides about 2.1 GB of software on a 700 MB - ISO, grml-small is a flavor with only ~58 MB ISO-size (~170 MB - uncompressed). It does not provide a lot of software but the - essential stuff for being a rescue system on a business card - CD-ROM or a small USB device. You can use the Debian package - management system to install software on the fly (assuming you - have network access to a Debian mirror). Take a look at the 'Debian-Information'-section if you are - searching for the package list.
