[Fedora-livecd-list] Size of CD for use as a Rescue disk
People,
I had cause to find a recent RescueCD to work on old hardware with no
USBs - I have usually used a LiveCD on a USB stick but it wasn't
possible in this case - and I couldn't use a CD because the Fedora
LiveCDs don't fit on standard CD disks anymore. I ended up using an old
20GB HD and used virt-manager to install from a running laptop to the
physical HD - then I could just plug that into one of the old IDE cables
in the computers and get the hardware going that way. However it was
annoying - I would like a Fedora Rescue CD that will do everything that
SystemRescueCd does:
http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/Download
which is based on Gentoo and is only 480MB ! - when I build a base
Fedora iso from the Kickstarter file it is over 800MB !
Is it actually possible to produce a rescue CD like SystemRescueCd?
Thanks,
Phil.
