[wellylug] Recommendations for the best linux rescue disk - please

[Tony Booth]

Have you tried booting Knoppix into text mode?  Most often, I've found
that graphics is the thing killing the boot.

Otherwise, LNX-BBC has some good stuff
(http://build.lnx-bbc.org/packages/).

Cheers
Tony

Hi,

Since Knoppix, in my experience only boots about 50% of older PC's can
anyone tell me of a decent rescue cd (or floppy possibly) which will let
me test memory, hard disks as well as repairing an unbootable partition
etc.

Any opinions gratefully received.
Thanks
Nigel
