RIPLinux CD/USB boot/rescue system!




Recovery Is Possible! v15.1

The bootable CD image `RIP-15.1.iso' can be written to a CD disk, using
cdrecord etc.

The kernel v2.6.16 has IDE/SATA/PATA/SCSI support.

The kernel also has LVM1/2, RAID, and Ethernet/Cable/DSL 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,
xfsdump/xfsrestore, cdrecord/dvdrecord, mkisofs, dvd+rw-format, growisofs,
ntfsresize, mkntfs, ntfsclone, ntfsmount, lynx, links, mutt, fetchmail, ncftp,
lftp, epic4 irc, naim, tmsnc, tin, slrn, telnet, wget, curl, zgv, testdisk,
rsync, udp-sender/receiver, lde, blesstivo, rtvpatch, mfstool, chntpw, cmospwd,
grub, grubconfig, lilo, smartctl, memtest86+, ddrescue, dd_rescue, acpitool,
dmidecode, ethtool, lshw, mc, mcedit, star, kexec, lvm, evms, evmsn, ssh/sshd,
dmraid, zsplit/unzsplit, splitpipe/joinpipe, fscat, sshfs, mksquashfs/
unsquashfs, cdrskin).

The programs (fetchmail, curl, wget, ssh/sshd, mutt, links, lynx, msmtp,
tmsnc, slrn, and lftp) have SSL support.

It includes the CD/DVD UDF filesystem packet writing tools (cdrwtool,
mkudffs, and pktsetup).

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 'ntfsmount' program will enable you to write to a Windows NTFS filesystem.

# ntfsmount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win "Mount NTFS partition read-write!"
# ntfsmount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win -o ro "Mount NTFS partition read-only!"

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.

You can also install and boot the system from a USB flash drive.

There is also a PXE network version of the rescue system!
