develrelease grml 0.6-2

Chemnitzer LinuxTage 2006 and the grml CLT06 release are coming closer. grml 0.6-2 is available for betatesters and developers. See the changelog for more details: Changelog from grml 0.6-1:

  • updated isolinux to version syslinux-3.20-pre6
  • removed mysql-server package
  • rebuildfstab (/etc/fstab):
  • partitions have new mount-options: ’noauto,nouser,dev,suid,exec'
  • improved partition detection (e.g. reiser4 is detected now) Changelog from grml 0.6-2:
  • updated all packages (including some kernel module updates)
  • boot cheatcode ‘vmware’ - disable usb/firewire detection during bootprocess, load some SCSI-modules instead
  • reworked zsh completion (no error correction on rm and mv commands)
  • grml2hd: check for given mbr option and prompt for activating it if not set
  • bt-audio: script to connect bluetooth headset to computer
  • /bin/sh now points to /bin/bash; reason: Debian does not support zsh as /bin/sh. Take a look at #329288 and #340058 for example. zsh is used as interactive shell anyway of course
  • grub can be called from bootmenu (in isolinux) through running ‘grub’ now; thanks a lot to Rafael Steiner!
  • implemented sw-raid related stuff as mentioned on grml-user mailinglist Now I just implemented a function to detect suspend-to-disk signatures on swap partitions so grml does not touch them unless you are requesting via using bootoption ‘anyswap’. This entry is brought to you by mika running grml 0.6-2-a. :-)
