<h1>Release Notes:<br />grml 1.0 - codename <a
href="/faq/#releasename">Meilenschwein</a> (20070518)</h1>
<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, unless you want to (use grml2hd
for this). Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1 GiB
of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
<h3>Bugfixes</h3>
<p>Fixed several bugs and issues reported on <a
href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml_0.9">grml_0.9 @
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>alignmargins: adjust the margins and the position of the printed contents on the paper
<li>dirvish-setup: a simple script for setting up a basic configuration for the backup software dirvish
<li>grml2ram: copy compressed GRML image to RAM when running grml already (based on contribution by Michael Schierl)
<li>grml-quickconfig: get fast access to some basic grml-scripts (contributed by Michael Schierl)
<li>grml-setservices interface for basic configuration of system startup/shutdown via /etc/runlevel.conf
<li>gsuggest.pl: google suggest - ask google for keyword suggestions
<li>iso-term: wrapper script to run x-terminal-emulator in iso885915 mode
</ul>
<h4>New bootparameters/cheatcodes:</h4>
<ul>
<li>qemu: installs a default /etc/X11/xorg.conf (without having to run hardware detection)
<li>debian2hd: install plain Debian via <a href="/grml-debootstrap/">grml-debootstrap</a> in automatic mode
</ul>
<h4><a href="/grml2hd/">grml2hd</a> (install grml to harddisk):</h4>
<ul>
<li>support for Grub (now there's a dialog for selection between lilo and grub as bootloader)
<li>use of UUID and /dev/disk/by-uuid/ by default (provides stable booting devices, very important for installation on external usb/firewire
devices for example)
<li>use initrd/initramfs by default now
</ul>

<li>support setting of some important variables via cmdline
<li>improved error handling
</ul>
<p>See <a href="/grml-debootstrap/">grml.org/grml-debootstrap/</a> for

</ul>
<h3>Kernel</h3>
<p>Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.20.11 including <a
href="/kernel/">several patches</a> (Speakup, Squashfs,...) and
additional modules:</p>
<pre class="rahmen">
acerhk, aufs, cowloop, drbd8, et131x, exmap, ipw3945, iscsitarget, ivtv, kqemu,
madwifi, misdn, ndiswrapper, nozomi, openafs, pcan, qc-usb, r1000, realtime-lsm,
rt2400, rt2500, rt2570, rt2x00, sdricoh_cs, sl-modem, snd-bt-sco, spca5xx,
sysprof, tidev, tpm_emulator, truecrypt, unionfs
</pre>
<p>Notice: some more modules
<!-- <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://deb.grml.org/">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><a name="utf8"></a><strong>UTF-8:</strong> grml uses UTF8 as
default encoding. You can deactivate UTF-8 environment via
booting with bootoption lang=$LANG-iso. Some software is not
yet UTF-8 aware (problem is located upstream, neither at Debian
or grml itself). More information about UTF-8 at grml can be
found at the <a
href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=utf8">utf8 webpage in
the grml-wiki</a>.</p>
<p><strong>get_tw_cli / get_3ware:</strong> get_tw_cli has been
renamed into get_3ware as we support 3DM2 as well now.</p>
<p><strong>fluxbox:</strong> the keybindings have been restored to
their original (fluxbox upstream) behaviour. Now Alt+F# switches
between the desktops, Alt+Shift+F# sends an application to another
desktop. If you want to get the old behaviour back you can use the zsh
function fluxkey-change.</p>
<h3>Packages / Software</h3>
<p>Details about shipped packages and their versions on grml are
available at the <a href="/files/#debian">Debian section</a>. See <a
href="/files/release-1.0/dpkg_get_selections">dpkg_get_selections</a>
for a main package listing and <a
href="/files/release-1.0/dpkg_list">dpkg_list</a> for a more detailed
list of packages shipped with grml 1.0.</p>
<h3>Updates</h3>
<p>Updated all packages to Debian Unstable branch by 20070517.</p>
<p>Removed 90 packages [please notice that some of them are available under
different names/in different packages]:</p>
