I was going to suggest a live cdrom too but remember that Debian has its
own live cdroms. I've been using them in preference to Knoppix for
rescuing Debian systems due to binary compatibility problems. I've got
as lot of AMD64 Debian systems and Knoppix is i386 only.
The current Knoppix is alleged to be 100% binary compatible, beyond some
kernel modules which are specific to the running kernel (which is always
the case, even with official Debian).
64-bit Knoppix is in the TODO list of Klaus Knopper, but for rescue
purposes, 32-bit should be able to do the job.
I agree that Debian itself would be best, that's why I asked about the
installer, in rescue mode (found on disc 1 one of a standard Debian CD
or DVD).
Does disc 1 of a distribution set fully support XFS?
