i'm not sure what everybody does to their linux systems, but the only time i need a bootable linux toolbox (like linuxcare or knoppix) it is to fix a busted Windows system, not a linux system (-:. i can't remember that last time I completely killed a linux box to the point i couldn't fix it with a boot disk. well, i guess i can, but that was because i didn't keep a backup copy of my old kernel after building a customer kernel (aka it was my own stupid fault for playing without a net).

They would have to be sent to me of course. Are you talking about the bootable business cards? Those run a 2.2 kernel. I'm finding that they're becoming unusable as rescue disks because most of my machines are running 2.2-incompatible filesystem things like Reiser, ext3, disks over 134 Gb, RAID, or LVM. Drives over 134 Gb don't even work with Linus' 2.4.18 kernel. You need 2.4.20 (or maybe 2.4.19). Nowadays I use Knoppix as my rescue disk. (I'm not trying to sound like a Knoppix zealot. I'm really not a zealot, it's just a useful CD for several purposes.) -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
