Jeber Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 Some good references for boot disks from the latest LangaList:Many Linux setup CDs can function as a limited rescue tool, in much the same way that you can use an XP or Win2K setup CD to run the "Recovery Console" for limited troubleshooting and repairs.But there are better options for Linux, and I was going to list them out until I saw the excellent feature article at LinuxPlanet called "Rescuing Linux Systems--Generic and Distribution-Specific Safety Nets." http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/4294/9/Other good resources:http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Bootdisk-HOWTO/http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/cd-roms.htmlhttp://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/K...sh/BOutline.htmhttp://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/K...sh/BD-CDROM.htmIf you need--- or think you might ever need--- a Linux rescue disk, these articles are worth a definite bookmark!

Bruno Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I think a Live Knoppix can do a really good job as rescue disk . . . . . . ( that is if the ¨repair-function¨ of your normal distro CD does not get the job done ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was never any accompanying "tips" on how to do that -- hint, hint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
