First Release Candidate of Grml version 2020.06 available

Hi,
long time no see, but here we are! The first release candidate of the upcoming Grml version 2020.06, code-named 'Ausgehfuahangl' is available.
This Grml release provides fresh software packages from Debian testing (AKA bullseye). As usual it also incorporates current hardware support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml release.
For detailed information about the changes between 2018.12 and 2020.06-rc1 have a look at the official release announcement:
https://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2020.06-rc1/
You can download Grml 2020.06-rc1 from:
https://grml.org/download/prerelease/
Please test the ISOs and everything you usually use and rely on, and report back so we can complete the stable release soon. If no major problems come up, the next iteration will be the stable release, which is scheduled for the end of June (2020 *cough* :)).
Thanks to all our contributors!

I can confirm that software speech works. I had to load it by typing, "systemctl start espeakup". The old way, typing "modprobe speakup_soft" and "espeakup" did not work. This is probably better but the documentation may need to be updated.
I can also confirm that I was able to get speech with a hardware synth, a Doubletalk LT.
And I can confirm that braille works although its strange. It seems to recognize my braille display but the braille screen is blank. Normally, if the braille display is not working, it displays a power-on message. Instead its just blank. But i can type a command to start braille, "brltty", and then it works.

It seems that I got hit by this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=959236
There are multiple "source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*" lines in /e/n/interfaces which I do not know if is a real issue of just cosmetic.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It was quite sad timing for us that this didn't make it into Debian/testing yet and we were just in the middle of our release process. :-/ We are re-doing the build process with the ifenslave bugfix right now.

Thanks for reporting this one, I noticed this one as well and reported it as https://github.com/grml/live-boot-grml/issues/11 and fixed this today already, so the stable release will include the fix. :)

I do not normally test bonding, but I just got my hand on a new machine where I used grml to test a basic setup with 10G twinax cable so it was a fluke that I found this.
thx, for the quick fix. (I will get back to this machine next week and double check with the new grml release :)
