GRML - Knoppix for sysadmins and users of text tools ====================================================
grml is a bootable CD (Live-CD) based on Knoppix and Debian. grml includes a collection of GNU/Linux software especially for users of texttools and system administrators. grml provides automatic hardware detection. 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.
Release 0.2 - Codename Satura (20050110) ========================================
Fixed several bugs, including: #10: Please remove CD, close cdrom drive...is missing on reboot/halt #11: grml-0.1: starting xserver fails with '(EE) No core pointer device specified' #12: grml-0.1: WLAN Problem: Linksys WPC11 doesn't work
New grml-scripts:
* grml-mutt: shellscript for configuring mailclient mutt via dialog * grml-slrn: shellscript for configuring newsreader slrn via dialog * grml-postfix: shellscript for configuring postfix using TLS * grml-nessus: shellscript for preparing grml-system for use with nessus[d]
New kernel:
* 2.6.9-grml: vanilla kernel (from kernel.org) including several patches more information available on http://grml.org/kernel/
New hardware detection:
* Additional use of hotplug and discover mechanism to detect hardware.
New bootparameters/cheatcodes:
* ssh: use via ssh=password (adjust password), this will set the password for user grml and autostart a ssh-server. Notice that the provided password can be read from /proc/cmdline -> change the password as soon as possible! * passwd: use via passwd=password, this will set the password for user grml so login via getty
* some other bootparameters related to hardware detection, see file grml-cheatcodes for details (grml-cheatcodes.txt on CD-ROM, online at grml.org/files/)
Special new features:
* CPU-detection on startup and start of cpudyn/powernowd depending on type of CPU * htop running on tty11 * improved zsh configuration (prompt, completition,...) * zsh-lovers (see 'man zsh-lovers') updated and available in PDF-, PS- and HTML-format * grml2hd: install grml to harddisc Notice: First release, alpha-status - please use with caution!
Updates:
* Updated all packages to Debian Unstable branch by 20050109. * Updated bootparameter 'memtest' to Memtest86+ V1.40. * Added new/updated tools to windows-directory (/GRML/windows): pageant, plink, pscp, psftp, putty, puttygen and winscp371.
