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. http://grml.org/ Release 0.4 - Codename Eierspass (20050515) =========================================== Fixed several bugs, including: #13 starting hotplug fails without error message #14 grml-0.3: pekwm will not start #15 grml-0.3: wrong vermagic for quickcam.ko Improved hardware detection. Several improved, updated and extended configuration files. New grml-scripts (some selected ones): * grml-network: frontend for several network setup scripts * grml-hwinfo: collect hardware information * grml-vpnc-tugraz: connect to WLAN of TU Graz * xsay: text-to-speech system (e.g. run 'grml-x wmi', select some text via mouse and press 'ctrl-alt-v' New bootparameters/cheatcodes: * grml small - disable some consoles when booting (saves a little bit of RAM) * nofb - disable framebuffer * floppy - boot from floppy disk * hd - boot from (local) primary harddisk Special new features: * X.org server including new grml-x system ('grml-x') * unionfs-integration: full write support on CD; now it is possible to run, configure and install software without any workarounds * new init-system: switched from "colors" to lsb-function-style * iptstate running on tty10 * vesafb-tng: advanced framebuffer technology. Notice: use kerneloption video= instead of vga=! * udev integration: just run 'mount /mnt/external1' to mount your USB-Stick (assuming /dev/sda1 as corresponding partition) * grml-terminalserver: boot grml via network (either via PXE or floppy disk), see http://grml.org/terminalserver/ for more details. Kernel: * Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.11.8 including several patches (MPPC/MPPE, Reiser4, Speakup, Squashfs,...) and additional modules: acx100, at76c503a, bcm4400, bcm5700, eagle-usb, hostap, ipw2100, ipw2200, loop-aes, loop-aes-ciphers, madwifi, ndiswrapper, qc-usb-modules, realtime-lsm, shfs, sl-modem, unionfs * Instead of compiling Kernel for 386 we decided to compile for systems running 468 or above. See http://grml.org/kernel/ for more details. Updates: * Updated all packages to Debian Unstable branch by 20050508. * Updated memtest to Memtest86+ V1.55. * Updated windows-binaries (putty-collection/winscp) to latest version. * grml2hd: - added dialog-frontend - select username for harddisk-installation - choose filesystem (available: ext2/3, XFS, JFS, reiserfs) Removed 46 packages [please notice that some of them are available under different names/in different packages]: acx100-2.6.9-grml at76c503a-modules-2.6.9-grml bcm4400-module-2.6.9-grml bcm5700-module-2.6.9-grml blktool cloop-src configure-xawtv dietlibc-cp dietlibc-cp-dev dietlibc-cp-doc dpkg-www dwww eagle-usb-modules-2.6.9-grml etherboot fprobe hostap-modules-2.6.9-grml ippl ipw2100-modules-2.6.9-grml ipw2200-modules-2.6.9-grml kernel-headers-2.6.9-grml kernel-image-2.6.9-grml kernel-source-2.6.9-grml knx-live-inst liba52-0.7.4 libdns16 libdv2 libgsasl1 libiconv-ruby1.8 libisc7 libisccfg0 librexml-ruby1.8 libxplc0.3.10 libyaml-ruby1.8 libzlib-ruby1.8 ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.9-grml orinoco pekwm-dev postfix-tls qc-usb-modules-2.6.9-grml realtime-lsm-module-2.6.9-grml shfs-module-2.6.9-grml shfs-source sl-modem-modules-2.6.9-grml xfree86-common xfree86-driver-synaptics xserver-xfree86 Added 192 new packages (exluding lib[...]): 855resolution 9menu acct acx100-2.6.11-grml alsaplayer-jack aoetools apachetop apcupsd-cgi apticron asciidoc asleap at76c503a-modules-2.6.11-grml attacker aub backuppc bashburn bcm4400-module-2.6.11-grml bcm5700-module-2.6.11-grml beecrypt2 bfbtester bkhive bkp bmon bookmarkbridge bzr camgrab ccache ccdv cdbs cdebootstrap chgrep cogito cpufrequtils cuetools davfs2 dds2tar debsync detox dh-kpatches dietlibc dietlibc-dev disktype dumputils dupseek dvi2tty eagle-usb-modules-2.6.11-grml elizatalk encfs enscribe ext3rminator fondu fprobe-ng fprobe-ulog ftester gateguardian gnupg-agent gnupg2 gpgsm grepmap grml-terminalserver gtkam hal hasciicam hgrep hostap-modules-2.6.11-grml hotswap-text icecast2 ices2 icheck ifrename initramfs-tools ion3-mod-ionflux ion3-scripts ipautofw ipmasqadm ipw2100-modules-2.6.11-grml ipw2200-modules-2.6.11-grml ipython-common kernel-doc-2.6.11-grml kernel-headers-2.6.11-grml kernel-image-2.6.11-grml klibc-utils laptop-detect latex-beamer latex-xcolor lib[...] lkl loop-aes-2.6.11-grml loop-aes-ciphers-2.6.11-grml lsb-base lshw-common lsscsi m17n-db madwifi-module-2.6.11-grml madwifi-tools maildirsync mcelog mdetect mp3info multipath-tools multiseat muscletools ncmpc ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.11-grml netwag netwox nutcpc nxviewer olsrd ooo2dbk opensc opie-client opie-server osiris par2 pcscd pdfscreen pdns-recursor pdns-server pekwmdev pgf pinentry-curses procmeter3 prosilla pterm python2.3-elementtree python2.3-ipython python2.3-pymad qc-usb-modules-2.6.11-grml qjackctl qprof radeontool realtime-lsm-module-2.6.11-grml reprepro rootsh rubilicious rxvt-unicode s10sh saidar samdump scsi-idle sdate selinux-utils sfind sformat sh-lib shadowfs shfs-module-2.6.11-grml sip-tester sl-modem-modules-2.6.11-grml smake spl sqlite srg sshfs starttls statgrab stress super synctree syslinux telak udev-klibc unicode unionfs-modules-2.6.11-grml unrtf update-apt usbmount w9wm wacom-tools wdiff wiggle wmaloader wwwconfig-common x-window-system x-window-system-core xcardii xdebconfigurator xdesktopwaves xdm xkeyval xnee xorg-common xorg-driver-synaptics xprt xprt-common xresprobe xrsh xserver-xorg xsltproc xvfb yersinia zeroconf Changes since release 0.3 (20050304) ==================================== new team members ---------------- Tobias Klauser and Marcel Wichern joined the grml-team.
