[gentoo-dev] Gentoo Based Rescue CD

[Sean P. Kane]

Has anyone made or considered making a bootable Gentoo Based Rescue CD
(based on the LiveCD and Install CD work)? I think this could be a great
idea and would actually like to give it a try, but I don't want to
duplicate work and would love the input of others if they are
interested.

I haven't thought through this all the way yet, but some of the things
that I think would make this truly powerful would include:

a kernel compiled with emergency situations in mind (i.e. write support
for NTFS, even if it isn't super stable) (maybe even a few compiled
kernels selectable at boot, if need be.

With portage you should be able to setup a nice sized ramdisk that would
allow people to even emerge tools they might need that aren't on the
disk for their rescue operation.

Gentoo offers a very modern (cutting-edge) dist which means that it has
the most useful tools for most situations.

Etc......

Any input regarding other attempts or general input would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean
