<h1>Release Notes for grml64-medium 2008.11 - codename <a
href="/faq/#releasename">Schluchtenscheisser</a></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 2.1GB
of software and documentation on the CD.</p>
<p>Whereas grml provides about 2.1GB of software on a ~700MB ISO
and grml-small is a flavor with only ~75MB ISO-size, grml64-medium
tries to close the gap between those two flavours providing an ISO
with ~200MB. It does not provide all the software shipped with
normal/big/large grml but provides essential stuff, a full featured
kernel and the X.org server. You can use the Debian package
management system to install software on the fly (assuming you have
network access to a Debian mirror). Take a look at the <a
href="/files/">'Debian-Information'-section</a> if you are
searching for the package list.</p>
<h3>Bugfixes</h3>
<p>Fixed several bugs and issues reported on <a
href="http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml64-medium_0.1">grml64-medium_0.1 @
grml-wiki</a>.</p>
<h4>New grml-script:</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>grml-chroot</strong>: wrapper around chroot with
proc/sys/pts/dev filesystem handling</li>
</ul>
<h4><a href="/grml-live/">grml-live</a> (build system for creating a grml (based) live-cd):</h4>
<ul>

details regarding grml-live.</p>
<h4><a href="/grml-debootstrap/">grml-debootstrap</a> (wrapper around debootstrap for installing plain Debian via grml):</h4>
<ul>
<li>Provide interactive configuration dialog if the configuration
file wasn't set up.
<li>Initial support for SW-RAID.
<li>Use root=UUID=... by default if possible to avoid possible
race conditions with libata vs. pata

possibility to run multiple instance of grml-debootstrap.

<li>Remove stages after successful execution.
<li>Move stages to /var/cache/grml-debootstrap.
<li>Install devices using our own device tarball instead of
running MAKEDEV (which is just an ungly fork bomb).
<li>Run aptitude with --without-recommends option.
<li>Copy /etc/debootstrap/[s]bin as well to the chroot if they
are present
<li>Allow symlinks when coping existing files to chroot
<li>Pre-seed packages using /etc/debootstrap/debconf-selections
<li>Support DEBOOTSTRAP_OPT for passing extra parameters to the
debootstrap command
<li>Support KEEP_SRC_LIST to allow user to provide their own apt
sources.list from /etc/debootstrap/etc/apt/sources.list
<li>and a lot more updates... check out the <a
href="http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-debootstrap.git;a=blob;f=debian/changelog;hb=HEAD">Debian changelog</a> for details
</ul>
<p>Special thanks to Tong Sun for his contributions and to <a
href="http://www.sipwise.com/">Sipwise GmbH</a> for sponsoring
development of grml-debootstrap.</p>
<p>See <a href="/grml-debootstrap/">grml.org/grml-debootstrap/</a> for more
details regarding grml-debootstrap.</p>
<h4>Special new features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>integration of <a
href="http://www.zsh.org/mla/users/2008/msg00842.html">vcs_info</a>
within Zsh prompt (<a
href="/screeni/gkrellShoot_08-11-03_235459.png">demo
screenshot</a>)
<li>use random password if bootoption 'ssh' doesn't have an
option (thanks to Michael Holzt and Marc Haber)</li>
<li>(re-)implemented <a
href="http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=blob_plain;f=templates/GRML/grml-cheatcodes.txt;hb=HEAD">the

<li>moved from syslog-ng to rsyslog</li>
<li>added supported for swedish keyboard (thanks to Martin Karresand)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Kernel</h3>
<p>Based on vanilla kernel 2.6.26.8 including <a
href="/kernel/">several patches</a> and additional modules:</p>
<pre class="rahmen">
atl2 aufs madwifi squashfs
</pre>
<p>Notice: some more modules (like <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>Using a new <strong>version schema</strong>: as we want to
improve tracking of all the different flavours and releases of
grml we decided to use "$flavour $YYYY.MM" for the stable
releases. No further confusing 'grml 1.1 vs. grml64 0.2'.</p>
<p>Switched from old IDE drivers to <strong>libata</strong>
drivers. What might have been known as /dev/hdX on your system
will become /dev/sdX nowadays.</p>
<p><strong>Truecrypt</strong> isn't shipped anymore Because
Truecrypt is licensed under a specific license named 'TrueCrypt
License 2.6' which doesn't permit us to distribute Truecrypt. See
<a href="http://www.truecrypt.org/legal/license">section VI/4 of
the license</a> for details.</p>
<p><strong>Locales</strong> provided via /usr/share/locale have
been removed due to space reasons, though /usr/share/i18n/locales
hasn't been modified as well as package specific files.</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-2008.11-grml64-medium/dpkg_get_selections">dpkg_get_selections</a>

href="/files/release-2008.11-grml64-medium/dpkg_list">dpkg_list</a> for a more detailed
list of packages shipped with grml64-medium 2008.11.</p>
<h3>Updates</h3>
<p>Updated all packages to Debian Unstable branch by 20th of
november 2008 (plus some further selected updates).</p>
<p>Removed 22 packages (excluding lib* and *2.6.23-grml*) - please
