new develreleases: grml 0.9-7, grml64 0.02 and grml-small 0.3-2

I was working very hard the last few days, the result is a bunch of new develreleases. The stable releases are coming closer now, I've just to write the release notes and find artwork for the new releases (want to contribute? let me know!) first. Quoting the main changelog for the new develreleases:

=======================================================================
Main changelog for grml:

  * updated kernel 2.6.20-grml based on 2.6.20.6

  * updated libc6 (2.5)

  * updated Debian packages by 2007-04-15

  * several fixes, including the ones mentioned on
    http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=grml_devel

  * LaTeX: switch from tetex to texlive

  * grml-debootstrap is aware of stages (canceling is possible now),
    supports lenny (additionally to Etch of course) now as well

  * grml-x: use of evdev, please test it with all your mouses and
    report whether it works or not!

  * tons of other nifty updates/addons/... I've to dig through the

    as nion said : good news . i wonder if grml64 will be in 2 versions : small and "non-small" ;] i wait for x64 of grml with patience , i am certain it will be very nice os . 32 bits libs [ as their x64 os ] is a real problem with debian and ubuntu [ as well as nvidia display driver ]. do games like quake 3-4 or doom 3 can run ? ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/ . a grml-small x64 that plays those games and able to handle half-life servers would be perfect for me . one thing is sure i ll test all grmlx64 you ll make with p4-ht i865 and amd athlon x64 754 nforce4 . about this last chipset : do you "support" the nvidia firewall in it ? for the background screen , may be a fractal or a povray image : http://www.povray.org/ [; ? have a nice day
