Grml - new stable release 2025.08 available

We are proud to announce our new stable release 🚢 version 2025.08, code-named ‘Oneinonein’!

Grml is a bootable live system (Live CD) based on Debian. Grml 2025.08 is based on the newly released Debian 13 trixie and addresses known bugs from previous releases.

Like in the previous release 2025.05, Live ISOs 📀 are available for 64-bit x86 (amd64) and 64-bit ARM CPUs (arm64).

❤️ Thanks ❤️

Without Debian this project would not exist, and we would like to celebrate with Debian their 32nd birthday!

Once again netcup contributed financially, this time specifically to this release. Thank you, netcup ❤️

We also want to thank our individual sponsors donating through GitHub. If you like what we are doing, please join in!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to Grml and this release, stay healthy and happy Grml-ing! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

grml-live changes

While the Live ISO release was focused on Debian 13, in our build-tool grml-live more housekeeping and tidying up happened. If you remaster Grml ISOs or build your own, please take a look at the grml-live changelog. We want to highlight the merging of previously separate packages grml-autoconfig, grml-etc, grml-scripts and grml-udev-config into the grml-live config space.

For a detailed overview of the changes from Grml 2025.05 to 2025.08, please check out the official release announcement.

keyring changes

Users of our deb.grml.org repository need to have updated their grml-keyring package to have the current signing key. With the 2025.08 release we have stopped signing the repository with the old key.

If you want just the Grml console configuration, check out the install instructions without using the deb.grml.org repository.
