First Release Candidate of Grml version 2018.12 available
Hi,
just in time we have a present for you! The first release candidate of the upcoming Grml version 2018.12, code-named 'Gnackwatschn' is available.
This Grml release provides fresh software packages from Debian testing (AKA buster). As usual it also incorporates current hardware support and fixes known bugs from the previous Grml release.
For detailed information about the changes between 2017.05 and 2018.12 have a look at the official release announcement:
https://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2018.12-rc1/
You can download Grml 2018.12-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 December (2018 *cough* :)).
Thanks to all our wonderful contributors!

Looking good. I noticed a small visual improvement in the handling of the fetch= and netconfig= parameters. The combination of fetch= and toram still takes an additional copy using rsync. IIRC I reported this years ago - but given today's hardware the cost is a delay of three seconds the most on -small, I will not bother any longer ...
Also, I noticed using apt(-get) update:
| W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file | '/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.debian.org_dists_testing_updates_InRelease' | couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission | denied)
This isn't new and not a blocker. Still, it was nice if it could be fixed (how?).
If no major problems come up, the next iteration will be the stable release, which is scheduled for the end of December (2018 *cough* :)).
So, rather "Leipziger Gmias"?
Cheers, Christoph

Ah ok, fair enough. If anyone is interested in improving this I'd happily accept patches of course. :)

Thanks, I've filed this as https://github.com/grml/grml/issues/121

In non-EFI boot mode (AKA BIOS boot) you'll get isolinux/syslinux which requires tab to get into edit mode, while in EFI boot mode (which is the default on most modern systems) you'll get GRUB boot loader, which expects pressing 'e' to get into edit mode to adjust boot options.
So from Grml's point of view everything works as expected. If you mean something else please let us know.

thanks.
