This is a bootable CD Linux boot/rescue system!
=========================================================================
Recovery Is Possible! v12.7
The bootable CD image `RIP-12.7.iso.bin' can be written to a CD disk,
using cdrecord etc.
The 2.6.12 kernel has IDE/SATA and SCSI 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, jfs_mkfs, jfs_fsck, mkfs.xfs, xfs_repair,
cdrecord/dvdrecord, mkisofs, dvd+rw-format, growisofs, ntfsresize,
mkntfs, lynx, mutt, fetchmail, ncftp, epic4 irc, tin, telnet, wget,
zgv, testdisk, smbclient, smbmount, ssh/sshd, rsync, udp-sender/receiver,
lde, blesstivo, rtvpatch, chntpw, cmospwd, grub, grubconfig, smartctl,
memtest86+, captive-ntfs, ddrescue, dd_rescue, acpitool, dmidecode, hwinfo,
lshw, ethtool).
It also includes the CD/DVD UDF filesystem packet writing tools (cdrwtool,
mkudffs, and pktsetup). May not work with CD-RW larger than 650MB.
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.
============ WinNT/XP & BIOS password change programs! ==============
The chntpw program will enable you to view some information and
change user passwords in a Windows NT/XP SAM userdatabase file.
Read /usr/doc/RIP/chntpw/README.
cmospwd is a CMOS/BIOS password recovery tool. Read /usr/doc/RIP/cmospwd.txt.
ATTENTION! The NTFS write support in the kernel is just for use
with chntpw and has no other use.
If you want to mount a NTFS partition, mount it read-only!
# mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
ATTENTION! If you want to mount a Windows-XP NTFS partition read-write,
use captive-ntfs. # mount-ntfs "For help!"
=====================================================================
You can also install and boot the system from a USB flash/pen drive.
The flash drive needs to hold at least 30 MB and be no more than 1 GB.
There is also a PXE network version of the rescue system!
