<h1>Release Notes:<br />grml 0.9-rc1 - codename <a
href="/faq/#releasename">dioptrienotto</a> (20061127)</h1>
<p><strong>Notice: grml 0.9-rc1 is a RELEASE CANDIDATE and not
yet the stable release!</strong></p>
<h3>About</h3>
<p>grml is a Debian-based Live-CD. It 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 2.1
GiB of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
<p><strong><a href="/donations/">We do need your help!</a></strong></p>
<h3>Bugfixes</h3>
<p>Fixed several bugs and issues reported on <a
href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml_0.8">grml_0.8 @
grml-wiki</a>.</p>
<h3>New features</h3>
<p>Several improved, updated and extended configuration files.</p>
<h4>New grml-scripts (some selected ones):</h4>
<ul>
<li>fma: fast manual access, speeds up access for reading manpages
<li>getsf: download project from sourceforge.net
<li>grml-ap: set up your box as access point
<li>grml-bridge: set up your box as bridge
<li>grml-debootstrap: wrapper around debootstrap for
installing plain Debian via grml
<li>grml-router: set up your box as NAT-router
<li>random-hostname: print random hostname to stdout
<li>reread_partition_table: re-read partition table of specific disk
</ul>
<h4>New bootparameters/cheatcodes:</h4>
<ul>
<li>dos: boot into FreeDOS 1.0 from <a
href="http://www.finnix.org/Balder">the Balder project</a></li>
<li>noraid: disable automatic activation of software RAID
arrays</li>
<li>lang=$LANG-utf: unicode support, usage example:
lang=de-utf8</li>
</ul>
<h4><a href="/grml2hd/">grml2hd</a> (install grml to harddisk):</h4>
<ul>
<li>support customization of grml2hd through
/etc/grml2hd/customization</li>
<li>allow installation of lilo into MBR of the first disk on the system.
(Feature based on patch contributed by Alexander Bernauer.)</li>
<li>adjust /etc/default/rcS according to bootoption utc/gmt
and /etc/localtime according to bootoption tz</li>
<li>integration of random-hostname</li>
</ul>
<p>See <a href="/grml2hd/">grml.org/grml2hd/</a> for more details regarding
grml2hd.</p>
<h4>Special new features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>updated to X.org 7.1.1</li>
<li>unicode support through bootoption lang=$LANG-utf8
<li>added FreeDOS 1.0 from the <a
href="http://www.finnix.org/Balder">Balder project</a>; boot into it using the bootoption 'dos'
<li>new handling for added/removed devices: /etc/fstab is
rebuild automatically if new block devices are added or
removed; mounting usb devices is possible through /mnt/usb-sd*
<li>grml-rebuildfstab (that's a shell command now as well, just run
'grml-rebuildfstab' to rebuild /etc/fstab) supports fs-LABELs and UUIDs;
see 'man rebuildfstab' for details
<li>split package grml-etc into grml-etc + grml-etc-core (the
latter one provides the core configuration files for e.g. zsh,
screen and vim)
<li>bootoption 'grub' boots into <a
href="http://home.arcor.de/mschierlm/bootdisk/">The All In One
Boot Floppy</a> (which provides Grub), contributed by Michael
Schierl</li>
</ul>
<h3>Kernel</h3>
<p>Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.18.3 including <a
href="/kernel/">several patches</a> (Speakup, Squashfs,...) and
additional modules:</p>
<pre class="rahmen">
acerhk, acx100, adp94xx, arcmsr, bcm5700, cowloop, drbd8, et131x,
exmap, ipw3945, ivtv, kqemu, kvm, linux-wlan-ng, madwifi, misdn,
ndiswrapper, nozomi, openafs, pcan, qc-usb, r1000, realtime-lsm,
rt2400, rt2500, rt2570, rt2x00, sl-modem, snd-bt-sco, spca5xx,
sysprof, tidev, tpm_emulator, truecrypt, unionfs
</pre>
<p>Notice: some more modules (for example <a
href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=ati">fglrx</a> and <a
href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=nvidia">nvidia</a>) are not
pre-installed but available through the <a
href="http://grml.org/repos/">grml-repository</a>.</p>
<p>See <a href="/kernel/">grml.org/kernel/</a> for more details regarding
the grml-kernel.</p>
<h3>Important Changes</h3>
<p><strong>swap partitions:</strong> by default grml does
<strong>not</strong> automatically use swap partitions anymore.
Run 'grml-swapon' when running grml or boot using 'grml swap'
for enabling all detected and usable swap partitions.</p>
<p><strong>software raid:</strong> starting with grml 0.9
booting the system tries to enable all present software raid
arrays. If you do <strong>not</strong> want to enable software
raid boot using one of the bootoptions 'noraid', 'forensic' or
'raid=noautodetect'.</p>
<p><strong>zsh global aliases:</strong> the global aliases
setup has been changed; now the global aliases (like: 'G' is
same '|grep') are not enabled by default any more, instead a
new setup named 'powerful abbreviation expansion' is available.
Usage example: type 'N' and press ',.' to expand the 'N' into
'&>/dev/null'. Take a look at <a
href="/zsh/#grmlzshrefcard">the grml zsh refcard</a> for more
details.</p>
<h3>Packages / Software</h3>
<p>Details about shipped packages and their versions on grml are available at
the <a href="http://grml.org/files/#debian">Debian section</a>.</p>
