kernel 2.6.11.8 and some other stuff...

grml release 0.4 will be based upon kernel 2.6.11.8. The kernel build has been finished, documentation has been updated (see https://grml.org/kernel-devel/ - but not yet finished) and grml 0.3-7 is running with the kernel:

grml@grml ~ % uname -a  
Linux grml 2.6.11-grml #1 SMP Sun May 1 15:09:55 CEST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

On friday Gebi presented me his grml-terminalserver which let’s you boot on computers without CD-ROM but with PXE-cabable NICs. It works even on computers witout PXE using a floppy-drive. Woot! Some minor issues have to be fixed before releasing grml 0.4 with the grml-terminalserver, Gebi is working hard. ;-)

I wrote and tested the script grml-vpnc-tugraz which let’s you connect to WLAN at TU Graz via vpnc. It will be part of grml 0.4 of course. Now grml-hwinfo collects information of your hardware and writes everything to a file namend info.tar.bz2. Now we can get all information required to fix bugs reported by grml-users quite easy.

Several useful scripts also got part of grml-scripts, many updates in grml-etc. Just some minor issues have to be resolved, documentation has to become up2date and then grml 0.4 will be available!
