True. But still. ;) The client I'm installing on my machines (I'm connected 24/7 on one machine that has `irssi') is usually `epic4', because it does *not* require any configuration. % irc nickname irc.freenode.net ...and I'm on freenode. That's enough for quick chats, IMHO. `ircii' is even simpler and only requires minimal dependencies, but epic is a little more convenient to use out-of-the-box, I think (and we probably ship its dependencies already). Both are alternatives for the `irc' command used above. If you're firmly against it, I don't care too much.

That's good. Although, I'd probably burden people with calling grml2iso themselves. But you guys are better people than me. ;-) > And IIRC Christian already mentioned that he doesn't consider the > "artificial limit" an real issue for grml96, and I don't really > neither. So the policy is rather: Here's an image with grml32+64 for your convenience, but be advised that it may not fit on a blank CD, but probably on your USB pen-drive.

The quicker `toram' beats the living shit out of a half-full CD.
