Current state of grml-live with squashfs-tools and kernel

I was busy working on getting grml-live in a good shape together with squashfs-tools, live-initramfs and the new kernel version 2.6.26-grml. A new squashfs-tools package is available as well as an updated live-initramfs package. It does not support LZMA compression (yet) but it’s working fine with ZLIB compression so far. Right now I’m building an updated 2.6.26-grml kernel, 2.6.26-grml64 will follow. As soon as the new kernels are ready-to-go I will upload them together with grml-live 0.9 to the grml-testing repository. Updating our daily.grml.org buildhost will provide daily ISOs featuring 2.6.26-grml . New development versions of grml will follow so we can provide a new stable release in the near future. See the “Current state of grml-live with squashfs-tools and kernel” section if you are interested in further details.
