Testing current daily ISOs to go towards new release
Hi,
the current Grml daily ISOs (http://daily.grml.org/) feature a fresh 3.3.4 Linux kernel and I plan to work towards a 2012-05-rc0 release throughout the next days.
Everyone who wants to see 2012-05-rc0 actually happen is invited to grab the current daily ISOs (the testing flavours of grml-full + grml-small, 64bit and 32bit) and report any issues we should address before releasing rc0.
Let's get ready to rumble :)

Hello
the current Grml daily ISOs (http://daily.grml.org/) feature a fresh 3.3.4 Linux kernel
grab the current daily ISOs (the testing flavours of grml-full + grml-small, 64bit and 32bit)
I just downloaded the ISOs for the 64bit full versions testing and sid. But uname -r gives me 3.3.0-1-grml-amd64... what am I doing wrong? _ And while am at it... after the last release, some of my favorite packages where missing and I didn't took the time to post while the discussion was hot. So if it's possible to include the following, this would help me to not have to roll my own grml-live: xmount ewf-tools guymager
But that's just part of my own favorites. Needing 25MB additional space while uncompressed. Hope this wish doesn't comes close to release now.
Didn't had enough time yet to find some more interesting issues... ;)
Best regards Ursus

This is ok, the uname doesn't strictly reflect what's inside (this might be adjusted for the final release which will provide kernel
=3.3.5).

Those tools don't touch the scope of Grml close enough, 25MB is also quite large overall, so I'm afraid they won't reach the Grml release, sorry.

I don't know about the size requirements. Withoug guymager, it would be 225kB, maybe a more acceptable size. Of course something like aimage would be needed for the non-ewf part of the world, but sadly this went out of debian some time ago. Maybe I should learn to package stuff some day and help out on the upstream front...
As there's a forensic boot option and stuff like afflib-tools provided, I don't understand the "don't touch the scope of Grml" part too well. But of course that's my personal view and the reason I started to use in the first place.

Ok, I'll discuss the situation for xmount and ewf-tools within the team again. NACK for guymager though.

The forensic boot option is a feature which was contributed back by the commercial Grml-Forensic flavour.
But of course that's my personal view and the reason I started to use in the first place.
Grml focuses on sysadmin needs, we used to include a bunch of tools that where actually outside of our scope but we had to re-focus the project to get our available manpower at the right place.

Excellent news!
Hello, Just a quick note that I tried GRML daily ISO here. I tried the full-64-bit one. I was mainly checking that the accessibility stuff worked and I successfully got brltty and speakup with espeak for output working. My only comment is that the volume was initially very low, but I know setting the audio levels is difficult to do automaticaly as it can vary between sound cards. I know in some earlier GRML releases there was a kernel option to set the volume level, is that still present?
Also, as a separate note: Having the testing and unstable daily ISOs caught me out, I initially downloaded the unstable/sid one but realised before booting the CD, so I downloaded and tested the testing one.

Yeah, vol=... is supposed to adjust the audio level (as documented at http://grml.org/cheatcodes/ ), if that doesn't work it's a bug. :)

The "testing" flavour is the one we base our release on, so that's fine. :)
Thanks, regards, -mika-

Just in case I missed something: is there no grml96-full_testing.iso?
Any YES: I definitly want to see 2012-05-rc0 happen.. ;) Thanks!

Not yet, I'll provide one with official rc1 release then.
