updates in grml-packages (grml2hd, grml-autoconfig, grml-terminalserver)
Just to keep developers and beta-testers informed (assuming that you don’t follow my hg commits [time for a hg-commit mailinglist, yes]): today I spent several hours in reducing the todo list for grml 0.9. So make sure you have recent packages on your brand new develrelease (run ‘apt-get update; apt-get install $PACKAGES’) when trying out. Quoting some important stuff of the changelogs:
grml2hd: adjust /etc/default/rcS according to bootoption utc/gmt
and /etc/localtime according to bootoption tz
grml-autoconfig:
* deprecate CONFIG_KERNEL, CONFIG_LANGUAGE,
CONFIG_DMA and CONFIG_MIXER as they are not really
relevant on hd installations.
* do *not* use swap by default anymore, thanks for feedback
goes to Wolfgang Karall!
grml-terminalserver: a maintenance release to fix some outstanding issues:
* big update of linuxrc - do not use discover anymore (broken)
but instead try modprobing all available network modules
* reject tcp/113 via iptables to speed up PXE boot
I consider the current state as pretty stable, in the next few days I’ll do some more regression testing so hopefully we’ll have a first release-candidate of grml 0.9 soon…
