Download the ISOs from the 'devel' directory of the mirrors listed at grml.org/download. Sunday, August 16. 2009grml development: new bootsplashToday I decided to implement a new bootsplash layout. Vesamenu of the isolinux project worked fine during our tests so I decided we should think about making it to grml's default. My implementation in grml-live allows you to fall back to the old bootsplash layout via enabling one single configuration option (being: ISOLINUX_METHOD=console) and you can even get the old function keys layout back during runtime using the 'Further boot options...' entry. It should become part of the daily ISOs soon. Hopefully our next development release shows that users like it and it doesn't cause any problems. So that's what I'm talking about - grml's new bootsplash in its current layout: Wednesday, August 12. 2009

grml release 2009.05 supports a bootoption 'readonly' which marks all /dev/[hs]*dX devices as readonly. This is important for data rescue and forensic investigations and is automatically activated when booting via 'forensic'. I just implemented readonly support for hotplugging. This means you can safely add new block devices to your system when booted via forensic and the blockdevices will be set to readonly mode automatically. You'll notice something like that in your syslog:

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Information: broken boot entry on LinuxUser 2009/08 grml-DVDEnglish Version(Eine deutsche Version dieses Textes ist am Ende diese Blogeintrags verfügbar. A german version of this text is available at the bottom of this blogentry.) The Grml 2009.05 LinuxUser-Edition DVD shipped with LinuxUser 2009/08 sadly includes two errors. Neither data loss nor security risks, but broken boot entries instead. The grml team wants to inform users of the LinuxUser grml-DVD about this issue.
The grml team is very sorry about this fsckup. This was the first official remastering of a multi-ISO grml-DVD including a new bootlayout (isolinux with vesamenu) and sadly the configuration error wasn't caught during our tests. Please note that this error happened to the grml team and is NOT the fault of LinuxUser. German / Deutsche VersionDie Grml 2009.05 LinuxUser-DVD die der LinuxUser-Ausgabe 2009/08 beiliegt hat leider zwei Fehler. Kein Datenverlust, keine Security-Probleme, sondern kaputte Bootloader-Einträge. Das Grml-Team möchte mit diesem Blogeintrag Anwender der LinuxUser-grml-DVD über dieses Problem informieren.
Dem Grml-Team tut dieser Fehler sehr leid und es bittet um Entschuldigung bei den Anwendern. Die grml-DVD war das erste offizielle multi-ISO in dieser Größe mit einem neuen Bootlayout (isolinux mit vesamenu). Leider wurde das Konfigurationsproblem in den Testläufen nicht entdeckt. Das Grml-Team möchte explizit darauf hinweisen, dass dieser Fehler NICHT die Schuld von LinuxUser ist. Tuesday, August 4. 2009Call for help: grmlzshrc.5
Please check out Frank's call for help on the grml mailinglist regarding a reference for grml's zsh configuration. Please let us know if you can help!
