Thursday, December 22. 2005grml 22c3 releaseI just finished work on the 'grml 22c3 release'. The 22nd Chaos Communication Congress (December 27th to 30th, 2005) will take place in Berlin/Germany. I'm not on the event (lacking time), but several grml team members and beta-testers will be there! 'grml 22c3' is not a public release, it is only available for beta-testers and people at 22c3. It's a preview release of the upcoming grml 0.6 which will be available in january 2006. Sunday, December 11. 2005
grml2hd and software raid (level 1) Posted by Michael Prokop

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) grml2hd and software raid (level 1)I just added support for installing grml on software RAID level 1 with grml2hd. As we already have support for initrds it wasn't such a big deal. [Disclaimer: it's not a frontend for mdadm, you have to use mdadm manually on your own. If you want to use software RAID you should know how to handle it anyway.] So if you want to use RAID1 with '/' on software-raid run mdadm and install grml afterwards on the new created device using the environment variable SWRAID which passes the provided option to the raid-extra-boot-option in lilo.conf: # mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=raid1 \ That's it. :-) Tuesday, December 6. 2005

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) status report... grml 0.5-3A lot of development has taken place in the last few weeks and days. We now have a full featured 2.6.14-grml kernel with udev replacing hotplug-light (thanks, Tobias!). Using bt-hid it's possible to connect a bluetooth mouse, some more bluetooth scripts are work in progress... grml2hd supports initrd (and therefor installation on scsi and usb-devices). Improved synaptics touchpad support, ip addresses of network interfaces are displayed in GNU screen (thanks, Gebi!) and lots of other nice stuff. :-) Now we are waiting for kernel 2.6.15, in the meanwhile we are continuing work on the big quality check. We plan to release grml 0.6 and grml-small 0.2 at beginning of 2006. |
