People,
I had cause to need to find a recent RescueCD to work on old hardware
with no USBs - I have usually used a Fedora LiveCD on a USB stick but it
wasn't possible in this case - and I couldn't use a CD because the
Fedora LiveCDs don't fit on standard CD disks anymore. I ended up using
an old 20GB HD and used virt-manager to install from a running laptop to
the physical HD - then I could just plug that HD into one of the old IDE
cables in the computers and get the hardware going that way. However it
was annoying - I would like a Fedora Rescue CD that will do everything
that SystemRescueCd does:
http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/Download
which is based on Gentoo and is only 480MB - when I build a base Fedora
iso from the Kickstarter file it is over 800MB !
I wondered if it was actually possible to produce a Fedora rescue CD
like SystemRescueCd - and so I started looking and found LFS. Now I am
wondering if I could "kill two birds with one stone" ie learn more about
how Linux is installed onto a HD and then gradually develop that OS to
the stage where I can continue to use DNF in the usual way?
Thanks,
Phil.
