Ok as I have some answers now:
first: mea culpa, but last night was to long, so sorry that I did NOT see chroot,
which gives me nearly all the possibilities I missed, but I have used Knoppix for
doing some system repairs lately, and liked the idea, whith the exception, that it is
way to large for such a job (ok it is not its primary mission), so I had the idea of a
basic maintenance system which boots from cd and let you do some things, maybe calling
this a rescue-system was a bit misleading.
The thing with vi is: to know how to work with it, does not mean you have to like it.
urpmi/rpm may be very handy to get rid of such a grazy package as the latest kernel,
which killed the system of some poeple here, including mine, my plan in this situation
was to deinstall the package and reinstall a working kernel-package (I could not try
it until now, but will this evening, maybe it helps).
partimage: this came into my mind because I use Knoppix to image my partitions, which
is very comfortable, and I thougt it was a good idea to have something similar in
Mandrake, especially if you want to attract new users, who do not know, and maybe do
not want to learn vi.
By the way, a computer and its operating system are tools that should support the user
as much as they can, so why should you always take the hard path, what is so wrong
about a bit comfort ?
