the rescue is not meant to be a small usable linux system, it's meant to rescue a non-bootable mandrake os. the doc says: -=-=---=-=---=-=---=-=---=-=-- The rescue system on this CD is a very basic text-based environment for rescuing systems that no longer boot. You will not find an easy-to-use graphical environment in this rescue system, nor the Mandrake detection/configuration libraries. The vast majority of problems that can affect a Linux system are much easier to repair on a running system than by booting into "rescue mode". In fact, there are very few problems which aren't easier to resolve in the comfortable environment of a fully installed Mandrake Linux system than in this spartan "rescue system" shell. Some of the most common problems include: - bad or missing X (video display) configuration - adding/removing/reconfiguring hardware - repairing problems caused by installing third-party software with the "--force" and "--nodeps" options The general rule of thumb is: "If you can boot into the Linux system without using rescue mode or this CD, there is no real reason to use the rescue CD". -=-=---=-=---=-=---=-=---=-=-- we won't add large utilities that don't fit the aim of the rescue (small ones as well, actually). -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
