I'm running Etch amd64 and this is my first box without a floppy drive. On previous boxes I've used Woody's boot floppies and some extra utilities disks I've made to cobble together a text-mode rescue setup on a ram disk.
Of course this won't work with my new box: SATA drives, LVM on raid1, etc. Knoppix is a huge iso and I'm on dial-up in the country (2K/s) and will take 72 hrs via ftp. Does anyone know of a debian-based rescue CD or USB image that's lighter then Knoppix? Knoppix seems to be overkill. I just need a shell, raid, lvm, and fs tools (so far, just like the installer rescue mode) but with some extras like ping, tracerroute, perhaps mc, relevant man pages and documentation? I'd also like the ability to boot using a serial console just in case. Thanks, Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
