release-decisions, packaged kexec-tools and several updates
We decided to release grml 0.5 as soon as the config-framework is “finished” (I’m still working on it). In the meanwhile kernel 2.6.13 should be released. 2.6.12-grml is working quite well on grml-small, (the still unreleased) grml-usb and grml(-large). SMP is causing some troubles with cpufreq and ACPI :-(( - so it will be deactivated in the next release. BTW: Tobias is doing a great job with packaging udev (currently version 0.065) for the grml-system, thanks to him! Yesterday I packaged kexec-tools so we can test it with 2.6.13 as soon it is available. As usual it’s available in the grml-repos.
Yesterday I wrote a small script named grml2usb to install a grml-iso to an usb-stick. The script should work on any linux-system and reduces the necessary manual steps. Testing and feedback welcome! Several updates, bugfixes and improvements have taken place in grml-autoconfig, grml-scripts and grml-etc. And I just implemented the bootoption ‘startx’ so grml can boot directly into the X window system using grml-x.
