Hi folks, as announced on IRC some thoughts about the new grml direction.
For me grml was always an all purpose live cd for text users and zsh addicts. I always knew I could just load a grml a I would have a more or less complete working environment afterwards. On the other hand I was able to just use grml-small if I needed a live cd just for booting and chrooting into the usual environment (i.e. for restoring the bootloader) or use -small as a base for my own customisations. Unfortunatly these assumptions aren't valid anymore. IMHO it is not a good idea to focus on rescue environments. GRML was known for two things: the great collection of well prepared text tools and their release names. I don't think focussing on release names as the only unique feature is a good idea. There are rescue systems like ten a penny. Also wasting 350 mb of space on a cd is a (imho) stupid thing. I want my old grml-small and -full back. And as it seems I am not alone. It is not my style to just whine. So what do I have to do to get my old grml back? Yeah my time is limited, but anyhow I have to try. I don't want to lose my beloved grml tool. Alex P.S. When was the decision of dropping all flavours but this 350 meg flavour done? I didn't mentioned it until the release. _______________________________________________ Grml-devel mailing list Grml-devel@ml.grml.org http://ml.grml.org/mailman/listinfo/grml-devel
