Comments/Problems:
Installation on a new system worked fine.
But there are some things, I hardly missed:
1. On a installed system it is not possible, to create or repair the=20
bootloader.
Mounting, and repartitioning went fine, but when I tried to install the n=
ew=20
bootloader (either grub or lilo), it wanted to install basic libs, packag=
es=20
etc. ansd warned me, that it might crash. I said, o.k., do it still, and =
he=20
began to overwrite the libs etc. and then hook up, because of a crash and=
=20
dependencies.
I tried hard, but there was no way, to reinstall the bootloader with the=20
installation CDs.
To reinstall teh bootloader, I used teh CDs from Jan 2003 (woody), where =
there=20
is the opportunity, to choose an per example "rescbf24"-kernel to boot th=
e=20
system.
=20
Now my question:
Will there be a rescue-system at the coming installation-CDs in the futur=
e ?
I painfully miss it, because I often had to use old ones for easy rescuei=
ng a=20
died system.
=20
Best regards and thank you very much for your work in the past and=20
the future !!

There is work being done on a rescue option already.
In the mean time, see question 28 in our FAQ [1] on how you can use the
installer CD as a rescue system.
Closing the bug report as this seems to satisfy the points raised in it.
(If you disagree, the report can be reopened.)
