Kernel
- -The kernel 2.6 provided by the grml system is based on the latest - stable(!) vanilla kernel (taken from kernel.org) we consider as 'useful and - working'. The grml-kernel includes several patches and - modules. If you experience any problems please don't - hesitate to contact us!
- -Release 0.4 provides kernel 2.6.11.8:
- --grml@grml ~ % uname -a -Linux grml 2.6.11-grml #1 SMP Sun May 1 15:09:55 CEST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux- -
The kernel configuration of 2.6.11-grml is - available online. If you want to patch a vanilla kernel without applying all - the single patches take a look at the all-in-one kernel patch (gzip, 1009kB). - Also take a look at the list of applied patches.

Microsoft PPP compression/encryption (MPPC/MPPE)
- -Support for the Microsoft Point-To-Point Compression (RFC2118) and - Microsoft Point-To-Point Encryption (RFC3078). These protocols are - supported by Microsoft Windows and wide range of "hardware" access - servers. MPPE is common protocol in Virtual Private Networks. According - to RFC3078, MPPE supports 40, 56 and 128-bit key lengths.
- - - -Reiser4
- -Reiser4 is a computer file system, a new "from scratch" version of the - ReiserFS file system, developed by Namesys. See Reiser4 at wikipedia for some - more details.
- - - -Speakup
- -Speakup is a screen reader/speech access system for the GNU/Linux - Operating System, used by people who are blind.
- - - -Squashfs
- -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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
vesafb-tng
- -vesafb-tng is a new and more functional version of the vesafb Linux - driver. For more details take a look at the project webpage:

eagle-usb
- -Aims to provide GPL driver for xDSL modems equipped with the Eagle chipset - (from Analog Devices) as for example Sagem F@st 800/840/908.
- - - -hostap
- -Host AP is a Linux driver for wireless LAN cards based on Intersil's - Prism2/2.5/3 chipset. The driver supports a so called Host AP mode, i.e., it - takes care of IEEE 802.11 management functions in the host computer and acts - as an access point. This does not require any special firmware for the - 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).

sl-modem
- -Low-level drivers for the software modems produced by Smart Link Ltd. It - supports PCI and USB models.
- - - -unionfs
- -Unionfs is a stackable unification file system, which can appear to merge the - contents of several directories (branches), while keeping their physical - content separate. Unionfs is useful for unified source tree management, - merged contents of split CD-ROM, merged separate software package - directories, data grids, and more. Unionfs allows any mix of read-only and - read-write branches, as well as insertion and deletion of branches anywhere - in the fan-out. To maintain unix semantics, Unionfs handles elimination of - duplicates, partial-error conditions, and more.
