Tired of the old dog-and-pony show? http://www.sysresccd.org/Download gives you a much more complete environment, including wifi support (with firmware), and won't conflabulate and change the devices like that one metioned above, and has a very simple install script. Here's blkid on the laptop normally: /dev/sda1: LABEL="system" UUID="d91e2ce9-d1b0-4619-abc3-3886142d58da" TYPE="xfs" /dev/sda2: LABEL="swap" UUID="f303a606-2bd6-47b1-8761-3d5f212725fd" TYPE="swap" and after booting with SystemRescueCd: /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/sda1: LABEL="system" UUID="d91e2ce9-d1b0-4619-abc3-3886142d58da" TYPE="xfs" /dev/sda2: LABEL="swap" UUID="f303a606-2bd6-47b1-8761-3d5f212725fd" TYPE="swap" /dev/sdb1: LABEL="SYSRESC" UUID="52DC-EE33" TYPE="vfat" Since it's tools are better, it has x86 or x86_64 kernels, more options, and it's based on Gentoo ... it's a great replacement for those old Gentoo minimals. -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ [email protected] 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ Don't top-post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post#Top-posting
