Subject: RIP Linux CD boot/rescue system
Recovery Is Possible! v10.5
This is a Linux CD boot/rescue system.
There's also floppy versions of the system.
You can get it here.
http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip
The bootable CD image `RIP-10.5.iso.bin' can be written to a CD/DVD disk,
using cdrecord/dvdrecord etc.
The 2.6.8.1 kernel has IDE, SCSI and SATA support.
The kernel also has PCMCIA, LVM2, RAID, and Ethernet/cable/dsl/ppp/
pppoe/wireless networking support.
These are some of the programs it contains (partimage/partimaged, parted,
dump/restore, reiserfsck, fsck.reiser4, fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk, mke2fs,
e2fsck, tune2fs, debugfs, mkfs.xfs, jfs_mkfs, jfs_fsck, xfs_repair,
cdrecord/dvdrecord, mkisofs, dvd+rw-format, growisofs, ntfsresize,
mkntfs, lynx, mutt, fetchmail, pop3spam, popselect, ncftp, epic irc,
tin, telnet, wget, naim, zgv, testdisk, smbclient, smbmount, ssh/sshd,
rsync, udp-sender/receiver, lde, blesstivo, rtvpatch, chntpw, cmospwd,
grub, grubconfig, smartctl, memtest86, captive-ntfs)
It also includes the DVD udf filesystem packet writing tools
(cdrwtool, mkudffs, pktsetup).
The 'reiserfsck' and 'fsck.reiser4' programs are used to check and repair
a Linux reiserfs and reiser4 filesystem.
The 'xfs_repair' program is used to repair a Linux
xfs filesystem.
The 'jfs_fsck' program is used to check and repair
a Linux jfs filesystem.
The 'e2fsck' program is used to check and repair
a Linux ext2 or ext3 filesystem.
The 'ntfsresize' program non-destructively resizes Windows XP/2000/NT4
or Windows Server 2003 NTFS filesystems. Read /usr/doc/RIP/ntfsresize.txt
on the rescue system.
The 'parted' program is used for creating, destroying, resizing (fat16/32,
ext2/3, reiserfs v3.6), checking and copying partitions, and the file
systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating
systems, reorganising disk usage, copying data between hard disks and
disk imaging.
The partition image program 'partimage' saves partitions in the ext2,
ext3, reiserfs, jfs, xfs, ufs, ntfs, fat16, and fat32 formats to an
image file. Only used blocks are copied to save space and increase
the speed. The image file can be compressed, in gzip or bzip2 formats.
etc...
The complete README is at the site.
You can also install and boot the rescue system, on a USB flash device.
