grml 0.9 with codename Dioptrienotto has been released

The official release announcements providing all the relevant news
are available at:

grml 0.9 => http://grml.org/files/README-0.9.php


0.9 includes 2.6.18.3 kernel including several patches (Speakup, Squashfs,..etc), X.org 7.1.1. Also Freedos 1.0 from the Balder (http://www.finnix.org/Balder) project.


I found GRML to be the easiest way to install Debian Sid. It makes a great base system because it installs tons of developer and hacker tools.
Boot the CD
Run the grml2hd script (about 10 minutes)
Answer a couple questions.
Then apt-get install anything from Debian Sid.

If you are interested in data recovery, computer forensics, assistive technology, or want to experiment with new stuff, this is for you.

I have some good success using GRML 0.7 to help recover data a few times. Three out of four times I have been able to recover data from drives with bad partition tables.

Thanks for the post. I new version 0.9 was a release candidate but I didn't expect the final release so soon. Grml is one of my most used distros. Whenever I break something, I fall back on Grml to work my way out of it.

Even though its primary intent is with using the command line, it is easy to use a GUI if that is your preference.

It is definitely worth keeping an up to date Grml CD in your collection.
