New versions of rescue CD (aka Sysadmin Survival CD) ?

[DAVID BALAZIC]

Hi!

Are there any newer versions of the red hat rescue CD (aka Sysadmin Survival CD) ?

The latest on ftp://ftp.redhat.de/pub/rh-addons/rescue-cd/ is RHL 8.0 based.

Regards

Yup.  AFAIK it's in the Red Hat Linux 9 DVD you get when you purchase
the boxed set.  Maybe it's also supplied as a separate CD in the box
as well.  AFAIK it's not available for download because it's just a
subset of the bits in CD1: the xdelta between CD1 to rescuecd is 2353
bytes.

Can I get this xdelta ?

BTW, Florian La Roche claims that the rescue-cd was discontinued.

Florian , Alexandre , can you sync your opinions ... or something :-)

Red Hat has now a rescue system that is based on the anaconda installer
and is sharing most of the bits with it. The most important thing for me
was to have a rescue system available at the size of a credit-card that
I can carry around with me all the time. ;-)

other bits should be a really nice rescue system. There should be enough
projects out that use that as firewall system etc and that could be
revived as rescue system. Big question is who is going to produce real
CDs and distribute them.

I am confused. Is there a red-hat-linux based rescue CD that I can download
on easily construct and fits on a credit card CD or not ?

How about non-red-hat based ones ? Is that busybox thing usable ?

10x for any answers !

The Red Hat Linux install image is also a rescue image. I think it has more
than 50MB, so you have to put in some extra efford if it has to be smaller.

I don't have anything that is ready to go, that is just the direction I
would look at if something new needs to be cooked up.

Can you burn credit card sized CDs yourself?

So is v8.0 the latest ?
What about v9 that Alexandre Oliva mentioned ?

Yes, I have a CD writer and a box of credit card sized CD-Rs.

AFAIK, it's only in the DVD you get when you purchase the boxed set
that contains the DVD.

Definitely a case for putting the xdelta up somewhere.

No, they have been discontinued.
