grml2hd-utils 0.1 available

Saturday, July 30. 2005

grml2hd-utils is a collection of some scripts which might be useful for people who installed grml to harddisk. For example remove-packages-server is a script which will remove server packages on your grml-system, useful for people who want to use grml as a plain workstation-system. grml2hd-utils itself is a frontend for the provided scripts. Just take a look at it (it's available via the grml-repos) and report feedback. Suggestions for additional scripts you would like to see are welcome too of course.

plans for upcoming releases

Wednesday, July 20. 2005
I'm busy working on the new grml-config-framework. As soon as it's finished and work on 2.6.12-grml too I'll release grml 0.5. To make the progress more transparent I created a new page in the grml-wiki: 'Plans for upcoming releases' - there you will also find a list of packages which will be removed in the upcoming release. Please let us know if you think a package should not be removed. If you have any special wishes just write it down in the wiki-wishlist-page.

packaged ncp and nat-traverse

Monday, July 18. 2005
I packaged ncp (a utility for copying files in a LAN) on request by wuehlmaus a few days ago. Today I packaged nat-traverse (establish connections between nodes behind NAT gateway). You can find them in the grml-repos.

working on grml-usb

Sunday, July 10. 2005

grml-small (the 50MB-ISO) is already available, now I'm working on grml-usb. The goal is to provide a grml-ISO with less than 250MB which fits on a 256MB usb stick.

Please provide feedback which tools you would like to see on grml-usb. Take a look at the package list to see what's current status.

some more modules for 2.6.12-grml

Friday, July 8. 2005
While doing kernelrelated work I just built packages for lufs, fuser, eagle-usb, thinkpad and vaiostat against 2.6.12-grml. Again, get them from the usual place. (BTW: I just created a new category for the develblog named kernel.)

ivtv-module and utils for 2.6.12-grml

Thursday, July 7. 2005

Someone requested the ivtv-kernelmodule for grml-kernel and I just built the necessary packages (thanks to Eduard Bloch for his source-packages).

As I do not have the necessary hardware any testing is welcome of course. Get the ivtv-package at the usual place.

grml-small 0.1 available

Tuesday, July 5. 2005

I'm proud to be able to announce 'grml-small 0.1' with codename 'Zugschlus' (because it was inspired by Marc 'Zugschlus' Haber.) It's a ~50MB-ISO which fits on a business card CD-ROM. For more details take a look at the release announcement.

Please report feeedback!

devel release grml 0.4-2

Monday, July 4. 2005

We have another devel release for grml-developers and beta-testers: grml 0.4-2. Main features are:

  • kernel 2.6.12-grml including several additional modules (see grml.org/kernel-devel/) and an updated udev-package (version 060) [thanks to Tobias!]
  • replaced hotplug with hotplug-light
  • new grml-autoconfig infrastructure

Now I'll finish my work on grml-small and hope to be able to upload grml-small 0.1 really soon.... (hmpf)
