http://www.sysresccd.org/Download gives you a much more complete environment, |
| 12 |
including wifi support (with firmware), and won't conflabulate and change the |
| 13 |
devices like that one metioned above, and has a very simple install script. |

Here's blkid on the laptop normally: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
/dev/sda1: LABEL="system" UUID="d91e2ce9-d1b0-4619-abc3-3886142d58da" TYPE="xfs" |
| 18 |
/dev/sda2: LABEL="swap" UUID="f303a606-2bd6-47b1-8761-3d5f212725fd" TYPE="swap" |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
and after booting with SystemRescueCd: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" |
| 23 |
/dev/sda1: LABEL="system" UUID="d91e2ce9-d1b0-4619-abc3-3886142d58da" TYPE="xfs" |
| 24 |
/dev/sda2: LABEL="swap" UUID="f303a606-2bd6-47b1-8761-3d5f212725fd" TYPE="swap" |
| 25 |
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="SYSRESC" UUID="52DC-EE33" TYPE="vfat" |
| 26 |

Since it's tools are better, it has x86 or x86_64 kernels, more options, and |
| 28 |
it's based on Gentoo ... it's a great replacement for those old Gentoo |
| 29 |
minimals. |
