Grml - new stable release 2013.09 available
Hi,
we just released Grml 2013.09 - Hefeknuddler.
This Grml release provides fresh software packages after the Debian stable release (AKA wheezy) has been released. As usual it also incorporates up2date hardware support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml release.
More information is available in the release notes of Grml 2013.09:
http://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2013.09/
Grab the latest Grml ISO(s) and spread the word!
Thanks everyone and happy grml-ing, -mika-
Hi *,
well, too bad I only got my hands on an older MacBook Pro today (to fix some booting troubles), because I can't boot grml on this thing. USB-sticks with grml96 don't show up and grml64 on both USB-stick and CD (the MBP is old enough to still have an optical drive) stop at "Searching for disk". A USB-stick with Ubuntu 12.04.3 amd64 on the other hand boots fine (after not showing the boot menu and some messed up logo at boot).
Regards, FLorian

How did you create the USB stick?
The EFI setup is supposed to work fine:

Hi Mika,
thx for the link. For the previous attempts I just dd'ed the ISO onto the USB-stick. Now I used GNU parted to create the GPT and the FAT32 partition so I don't need a Mac to create a grml-stick to boot a Mac:
(parted) mklabel gpt (parted) mkpartfs primary fat32 32k 1024MB WARNING: you are attempting to use parted to operate on (mkpartfs) a file system. [...] Ignore/Cancel? i (parted) toggle 1 boot (parted) print Model: SanDisk Cruzer Micro (scsi) Disk /dev/sdc: 1025MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 31,7kB 1025MB 1025MB fat32 primary boot
(parted) quit
[&& mount $STICK_DEV $USB_MOUNTPT && cp -r $ISO_MOUNTPT/* $USB_MOUNTPT/]
Works fine with grml64-2013-09 and the "No Kernel-Mode-Setting" boot option (nVidia graphics). Too bad I need a special thumbdrive for Macs but at least now I know about this ;)

yes. its works with keyboard layout for brazil (abnt2 or abnt). after boot press key (TAB) and insert this 2 keywords for boot: xkeyboard=br lang=br.
IMHO could some one write a brief of signs of release name Grml 2013.09 - Hefeknuddler
All of we understand debian names because debian wiki about toy story! Where we found this for grml? Main reason is for all of us that use romani language ancestor, latin. thanks!

I don't understand "a brief of signs". But if you want to know what the word "Hefeknuddler" means - literally it's yeast cuddler. Meaning a hobby brewer.

Those guys use Austrian expressions that are quite out of the mainstream, making it even hard for us Reichsdeutsche (Germans from the former German Reich, i.e. the Federal Republic of Germany ;-) to decypher. But it's fun to find out. I agree that people without any knowledge of German are quite left out.

As already stated by Lupe Christoph we usually just come up with fantasy names, the "Hefeknuddler" is someone who likes to cuddle with Beer. :)
