CD1 is a rescue CD, but what exactly are you looking for? --keith -- kkeller-usenet@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information      |

I think this feature was removed about the same time as Slackware started distributing on DVD media as an alternative. On the other hand, there are many other good rescue CDs or DVDs out there. You have already mentioned knoppix, another favorite among my collection of rescue CDs is Trinity Rescue Kit. The only advantage of a Slackware based live rescue CD against other distributions specialized on being live CDs is that the Slackware live CD had an environment that both from the users and from the hardwares points of view looked almost as a Slackware installation. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

My laptop wasn't able to mount the fs after I recompiled a 12.0 kernel and went into a kernel panic. I need to change lilo, but this would have to be done from a rescue cd. I am using slax now, but it has different pathnames that confuse lilo, even with the -C option. Hopefully, this will not be problem with the slackware rescue cd. I remembered there used to be a livecd, and just wondered if it was still on d3 or d4, since I don't usually download them.

No, the _real_ LiveCD was discontinued after 10.0 (no space anymore). The "install" ramdisk image on disk 1 also functions as a mini-rescue system nowadays. You can mount your disk from there, run lilo and some other maintenance commands. -- ************************************************** ****************** ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.
