If you don't upgrade the kernel, you won't lose vesafb-tng. Upgrading to grml 0.6 (see http://grml.supersized.org/archives/136-update-to-grml-0.6.html for more details) won't touch your kernel and upgrading the kernel isn't necessary basically. Only if you run 'apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-grml' you will get the current kernel from grml 0.6 including vesafb-tng. regards, -mika- -- You like grml?

Interesting. We decided to switch from vesafb-tng back to "normal" vesafb, as vesafb-tng caused too many problems for our taste. Does booting via 'nofb' (just enter this at the bootprompt) work for you? What does 'fbset -i' say on grml 0.5? > hwinfo --netcard show me my mistake -driver status :orinoco_cs is > not active -driver activation cmd :modprobe orinoco_cs - i always > think your kernel-configuration do the hole work for me. Ah, exactly what I expected. :) Some orinoco/pcmcia-based WLAN cards aren't loaded by default, yes. We will extend udev (which does the autoloading basically) as soon as we have enough feedback about grml 0.6. > -thanks for your great work You are welcome. :) regards, -mika- -- You like grml?

Hello guys and gals, Got a good one for ya. I am trying to get Grml coming up with braille. The line I type in is this "grml brltty=fs,usb:,nabcc" and the only thing I recieve is the fact that the Braille display is a 20 c cell display. It is the Fs Pacmate display I am wanting to use. As you can tell it is Usb. Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Also this is going on a Toshiba laptop. -- Scott Berry electronicman1961(a)myfreedombox.com Check out my lazy web doodle at: http://www.myfreedombox.com/users/electronicman1961/ Email services by FreedomBox.

Does GRML 0.5 or 0.5-3 (beta) include any sort of virus scanner for Windows boxes? If not, do you know whether Knoppix does? Mark

grml 0.5 and WPA
by Oliver Vecernik 19 Dez '05

19 Dez '05

Hi again, I'm still trying to connect an Acer TM636 to a local WLAN. I've got an integrated ORiNOCO Mini PCI Card (802.11b), but when I start grml-network to configure eth1 WPA is not offered as choice. Then I read that WG511T should work flawlessly. After rebooting I tried to configure ath0 (again with grml-network). The only information I've got is the SSID and the WPA passphrase. But unfortunately dhclient get's no response. :-( Both cards are fully working under another commercial operating system originally installed on this machine. I'd prefer to use the built in ORiNOCO, but at least the Netgear card should be working. Has anybody got some pointers? -- Oliver
