Hi, I would certainly add some "rescue-tools" in there too, like memtest and hard drive diagnostics. A malware scanner is also handy to have (in case someone hijacked their harddrives and encrypted everything), rsync, ddrescue, an ntfs partition reader, maybe something to do BIOS flashing?
For me, a "rescue-cd" would be similar to a swiss army knife: A lot of tools packed in a limited amount of space, usable to quickly diagnose the issue (hard drive problem, CPU problem, GPU problem or something else?) and a rescue option (hdd cloning, rescue software, etc.). I think it should also be able to start without connecting to the hdd itself (so no auto-mounting). .Julius On Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 11:28 PM <dueff...@uwe-dueffert.de> wrote: > On Mon, 18 Apr 2016, Bruce Dubbs wrote: > > > I've been thinking thinking about a new Live CD/Rescue CD based on LFS. > > It would be much less ambitious than the old one that included an X > > implementation. > > What I had in mind is a base LFS system with the following: [...] > Sounds good! > > > What else? > if uncluding mc, then its dependencies - at least glib and libffi. > libssh2 has been handy here too (for virtual sftp file system support), > though I recognize it is not even in the book :-( > > if not including any graphics library, what's the advantage of links > over lynx?
