Special thanks to Christian Hofstaedtler for helping us in solving a big release stopper caused by udev's net.agent on systems without systemd (AKA #754987).

There was a "broken" grml96-full ISO on our mirrors for a few hours. All our checksum files as well as the signature files are OK, just the file grml96-full_2013.02.iso has a few different bits, resulting in a file which doesn't correspond to the expected checksum. Note: the broken ISO doesn't do any harm (it even boots) but you should still grab the correct one.

We've updated the grml96-full_2013.02.iso file but it might take a few hours until it's propagated to all our mirrors. To check whether you're affected execute 'md5sum -c grml96-full_2013.02.iso.md5' or 'sha1sum -c grml96-full_2013.02.iso.sha1'.

The broken file is:

% md5sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso
b2ae41161908751c4ba6ac4db0855a70  grml96-full_2013.02.iso
% sha1sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso
f61a87223ca02482f7f7e8d674c444c40ca91b3a  grml96-full_2013.02.iso

The known-to-be-good file should return:

% md5sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso
ceaec04b29f9263e384a54cda8c3bab0  grml96-full_2013.02.iso
% sha1sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso
c95df860f1c08cd7e82ddeac4918bb29cb3f0b7d  grml96-full_2013.02.iso

Sorry for the annoyance. Thanks to zeldor for bringing this issue to our attention.
