Release Notes:
grml-small 0.4-rc1 - codename Springginckerl (20070508)
+
+ Notice: grml-small 0.4-rc1 is a RELEASE CANDIDATE and not + yet the stable release!
+ +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. 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.
