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 GiB of software and documentation on the CD. http://grml.org/ Release 0.3 - Codename Hustenstopper (20050304) =============================================== Fixed several bugs. Improved hardware detection. Several improved, updated and extended configuration files. New grml-scripts (some selected ones): * grml-muttng: shellscript for configuring mailclient muttng (fork of mutt) via dialog * grml-lock: shellscript for locking consoles * grml-pptp-inode: connect via pptp to inode (www.inode.at) * grml-pptp-xdsl-students: set up XDSL@students internet connection at provider INODE in austria New bootparameters/cheatcodes: * wondershaper= set up basic traffic shaping; use it via wondershaper=device,download,upload example: wondershaper=eth0,500,100 * services= start service(s) which have an init-script in /etc/init.d/; example: services=postfix,mysql * welcome welcome message via soundoutput * nocolor disable colorized output while booting * log log error messages while booting to /tmp/grml.log.* and start bootlogd (tip: use in combination with nocolor) * debug get shell(s) during process of booting Special new features: * use of udev (Linux configurable dynamic device naming support) * multitail running on tty12 * grml-templates: this package includes several templates for use with LaTeX, C, C++, Qt, tpp, Makefile,... * showing cpu-status ("$CUR / $MAX frequency") inside GNU screen Updates: * Updated all packages to Debian Unstable branch by 20050303. * Updated bootparameter 'memtest' to Memtest86+ V1.50. * Updated windows-binaries (putty-collection/winscp) to latest version. * grml2hd: /GRML is now removed on the hd-install to satisfy FHS.
