removed packages

Saturday, February 26. 2005

I added several packages since release 0.2 to my grml-chroot. As usual I try to create an ISO with exactly 700 MB. My last ISO had 710MB.

# apt-get remove --purge printconf foomatic-db-gimp-print

- the resultat was an ISO with still about 705MB. So:

# apt-get remove --purge autotrace libautotrace3 libmagick++6 libplot2 libpstoedit0

I hope to get a 700MB version now. Notice: If you have any special wishes on software which should be removed/included please let me know, last chance for grml 0.3. :-)

create a perl debian package

Saturday, February 26. 2005

I wanted to add ACME::Bleach, ACME::EyeDrops and ACME::Smirch to grml. So I had to create my first perl debian packages. It couldn't be easier:

% dh-make-perl --cpan Acme::Smirch --build

grml-etc

Saturday, February 26. 2005

I added szs2nd and sti.pl to grml-etc (0.2-13). Those tools improve the statusline of windowmanager WMI. szs2nd is loaded by default now.

Updated /etc/skel/.zshrc and /etc/zsh/zshrc as well.

Current ISO build 0.2-9b works like a charme. :-)

new grml-mirror available

Saturday, February 26. 2005

Jim Dio provided a mirror in california for grml, thanks Jim! See download-section @ grml.org for details.
BTW: the TUG-mirror has a downtime due to problems with harddisks, according to the admin-team it should be up again at the end of the week.

GNU units

Saturday, February 26. 2005
GNU units was missing in grml, fixed that. Now we are able to do stuff like:

grml@grml ~ % units
You have: 1000 km
You want: miles
* 621.37119
