grml provides XPDE

Friday, April 1. 2005

I just installed XPDE in the grml-chroot:

It's awfull rocking! There is not enough place on the grml-ISO so I deleted all the TeX-stuff on grml. Sorry for that, guys - but grml 0.4 will provide XPDE!

grml running with vesafb-tng

I patched the grml-kernel (2.6.11-grml) with vesafb-tng:

grml@grml ~ % fbset -i

I'll do some more testing, if everything works fine the next devel-release will include the vesafb-tng-stuff.
