15 A rescue/maintainer mode was *very* useful in days gone by. Lately I
16 feel that this is better served with properly built tool (SysrescueCD
17 and friends) can be stored on disk and launched from grub. Besides,
18 these tools do the job so much better than just about anything you
19 would put in a production /. Just keep your tools up to date, nothing
20 worse than finding your brand new shiny LVM is not mountable as the
21 metadata format is too new :-)
