grml-zshrc: new prompt feature
Grml developer Frank ‘ft’ Terbeck did great work for grml-zshrc to get better customization options for the zsh prompt. We just uploaded grml-etc-core v0.8.0 to our grml-testing repository and want to mention three blog articles by Frank regarding this new prompt feature:
The new grml-etc-core release also provides a rewrite of the way keybindings work. Please consult /usr/share/doc/grml-etc-core/NEWS.Debian.gz for further details regarding the new prompt and keyboard handling. If you notice any problems please report a bug or just show up in #grml on freenode and talk to us.
Warning: broken grml96-full_2013.02.iso download
There was a “broken” grml96-full ISO on our mirrors for a few hours. All our checksum files as well as the signature files are OK, just the file grml96-full_2013.02.iso has a few different bits, resulting in a file which doesn’t correspond to the expected checksum. Note: the broken ISO doesn’t do any harm (it even boots) but you should still grab the correct one.
We’ve updated the grml96-full_2013.02.iso file but it might take a few hours until it’s propagated to all our mirrors. To check whether you’re affected execute ‘md5sum -c grml96-full_2013.02.iso.md5’ or ‘sha1sum -c grml96-full_2013.02.iso.sha1’.
The broken file is:
% md5sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso
b2ae41161908751c4ba6ac4db0855a70 grml96-full_2013.02.iso

f61a87223ca02482f7f7e8d674c444c40ca91b3a grml96-full_2013.02.iso
The known-to-be-good file should return:
% md5sum grml96-full_2013.02.iso

Sorry for the annoyance. Thanks to zeldor for bringing this issue to our attention.

Grml - new stable release 2012.05 available
We just released Grml 2012.05 - Ponyhof.
Thanks for all the feedback we received for our 2011.12 release, we took it serious and hope that everyone finds 2012.05 such a wonderful release as we consider it to be.
There were some changes between 2012.05-rc1 and the new stable release. The most important ones are:
- Update to Kernel 3.3.7
- Added sysstat (and imvirt-helper was pulled in as dependency)
- Fixed Grub2, iPXE and MirOS bsd4grml boot options for 64bit ISO
- Added wallpaper
- Fixed lang boot option for grml-small flavour
As you might notice the grml-small flavour came back. So it’s two flavours (grml-full + grml-small) and two architectures (x86 + amd64) now. The grml96 option - which provides the x86 and the amd64 version on one single ISO (grml96 = grml32 + grml64) - is available for your service as well.
We 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.
More information is available in the release notes of Grml 2012.05. Now download the latest Grml ISO and spread the word!
