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.

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
