[irc client]
Hm, good point. But the ones needing help need network access anyway, so they can just install their favourite IRC client anyway, no? (I'm aware that we did provide out-of-the-box config for irssi which just joined our channel, but I didn't see that many people using that actually.)
True. But still. ;)
The client I'm installing on my machines (I'm connected 24/7 on one machine that has `irssi') is usually `epic4', because it does *not* require any configuration.
% irc nickname irc.freenode.net
...and I'm on freenode. That's enough for quick chats, IMHO. `ircii' is even simpler and only requires minimal dependencies, but epic is a little more convenient to use out-of-the-box, I think (and we probably ship its dependencies already). Both are alternatives for the `irc' command used above.
Ok thanks! Added them to the list of software packages open for discussion.

grml96 is the result of one single grml2iso command line, so it won't receive a different package list than grml32 and grml64 but instead will just continue being the result of the two ISOs getting combined, from my POV.
That's good. Although, I'd probably burden people with calling grml2iso themselves. But you guys are better people than me. ;-)
Let's see what kind of feedback we get regarding grml96.
And IIRC Christian already mentioned that he doesn't consider the "artificial limit" an real issue for grml96, and I don't really neither.
So the policy is rather: Here's an image with grml32+64 for your convenience, but be advised that it may not fit on a blank CD, but probably on your USB pen-drive.
Jepp :)
If booting from CD is *that* important and relevant you shouldn't care about the MBs that you're "losing" with burning the ~350MB grml32/grml64 ISO to CD.
I couldn't agree more. The quicker `toram' beats the living shit out of a half-full CD.
