grml-autoconfig revisited

Friday, June 17. 2005

I just worked on grml-autoconfig which is a seperate package since 5th of June. I split grml-autoconfig into a shellscript-library, an init-file and a configuration file. Now it's possible to de-/activate the modules of grml-autoconfig without touching the source itself. As an example:

% cat /etc/grml/autoconfig.config
[...]
CONFIG_DISCOVER=no
CONFIG_HWINFO=yes
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_AGENT=yes
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_BLACKLIST=yes
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=yes

I'll add the functionality to grml2hd so you will be able to decide on your own what parts you would like to use on a harddisk installation of grml.

I'll do some more testing and will upload the new grml-autoconfig-system to the pool then.

grml in the german linux magazine

Friday, June 17. 2005

AK gave me a hint that grml is part of the german 'Linux-Magazin' (edition 07/05) for people with the DELUG-subscription. Very nice! Now I'll try to get such an edition which contains a grml 0.4 CD. :-)

Quoting the linux-magazine:

Service für DELUG-Mitglieder: Linux-Magazin-Monats-CD
Grml 0.4: Die Live-CD enthält 2200 ausgewählte Softwarepakete (entpackt: 2 GByte) für Sysadmins und Fans der Textkonsole. Die Distribution basiert auf Knoppix und Debian, bootet mit ausgeklügelter Hardware-Erkennung, verzichtet aber auf KDE und Gnome und konzentriert sich auf Kommandozeilenwerkzeuge.
