The LiveCD is generally fine for Linux rescues, but not necessarily as a |
| 2 |
general rescue disk, although Linux is quite capable in this arena. It |
| 3 |
may simply be that making a few changes to the current LiveCD would do |
| 4 |
the trick. |

|
| 6 |
Writable NTFS (still can be mounted ro if preferred) |
| 7 |
ZIP/UNZIP |
| 8 |
Dos2unix/unix2dos |
| 9 |
Mkfs.vfat or similar (formatting fat partitions) |
| 10 |
Other certainly, but this is what frustrated me yesterday :-) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
There is likely more, and I agree that possibly considering making |
| 13 |
portage "work" in this environment would likely be the most interesting |
| 14 |
task, if that could be achieved then all else would likely fall into |
| 15 |
place easily. |

What is the best way to get a hold of the lead LiveCD developer (who is |
| 18 |
that)? |

I have used my install CD for that. It has had pretty much everything I |
| 41 |
need. Could you be a bit more specific on what you would like to see on |
| 42 |
a rescue CD that is not on the install one? |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
As for the selectable kernels, I understand that most kernel variants |
| 45 |
mostly enhance performance, but I have a hard time seeing that as |
| 46 |
something essential on a rescue CD. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Supplying a working portage on the CD might be more interesting. |
| 49 |
Unfortunately, I am pretty sure you would have to run an emerge sync |
| 50 |
before you emerge due to how portage works, and that takes quite a bit |
| 51 |
of time and RAM space. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Now tell me why I am wrong. |
