Grml-small is a Live-CD that is based on Knoppix and Debian, which functions as a bootable system. This system includes an array of GNU/Linux software that is specifically designed for system administrators while also providing automatic hardware detection to make the process faster and more efficient.
While the larger version of Grml provides over 2.1GiB of software on a 700MB-ISO, Grml-small is a very compact rescue system for systems administrators. It does not require any installation on a hard disk or even the need for one to run the system. This is because of on-the-fly decompression which enables Grml-small to include around 150 MB of necessary software that still fits on a business card CD-ROM or USB device with 50MB.
The initial release of Grml-small offered a highly compact version of the Grml-system that was tailored for system administrators. However, note that there are some hacks implemented to minimize the ISO-size. Therefore, documentation and manpages are not included on the ISO.
Support for booting via USB is provided by Grml-small, which can be accessed through the website for more details. Additionally, the kernel runs on vanilla kernel 2.6.12 that features several patches (MPPC/MPPE, Reiser4, Squashfs,...) but not as many components compared to their larger version. Visit the website (see for more details) for further information about the features of Grml-small.
