    It is usable, but not exactly convenient, as a rescue disk. As it says
    in the documentation, if you go through the install process to the
    partitioning stage, and then stop before you repartition (!), you will
    be able to access your system, chroot, whatever.

    If you're using lvm, you may have to fiddle around with the lvm bit of
    the installer to get the lvm started.
