Grml - new stable release 2011.12 available

I am proud to announce our Christmas Gift to the community. We just released Grml 2011.12 - Knecht Rootrecht, just in time to put it under the Christmas tree. Download the latest Grml ISO and spread the word.

There were quite a lot of changes between RC1 and the new stable release. The most important ones are:

  • Update to Kernel 3.1.6
  • Easier remastering with grml-live and existing Grml ISO images
  • New GRUB boot theme
  • SYSLINUX will indicate its boot menu with one beep
  • GRUB will indicate its boot menu with three beeps
  • Enable all mixer controls at startup and set volume to 75%
  • Reworked and more flexible GRUB config file handling
  • grml2usb - use the GRUB configuration from the ISO image instead of creating a new one
  • Additional keybindings for fluxbox
  • Fix keyboard layout bug

You can get Grml now in 3 options - grml32, grml64 and grml96 (32+64, featuring both Grml versions).
One flavour, two architectures, three options (grml32, grml64, and grml96).

I want to thank all the people involved in this magnificent and awesome release. The Grml Developers, our Contributors and all the other people involved in this release.
