Hello !
I'm sorry if this issue has been discussed before, but I'm not at all
happy with the new rescue method. I've nothing against booting from the
CD, but the fact that the only utilities offered are the ones used during
the installation is something I can only laugh at. Even such vital things
as fsck, vi or cp are not there ! Therefore the rescue disk is nearly
unusable. What I'd like RedHat to do:
1) Bring back all the utilites that were on the old rescue.img
2) Move to 2 CDs distribution: it's definitely time to do it. It's
becoming harder to serve everyone's needs with one CD and there's no space
left on it already. For example I do not need 10 Megabytes of
desktop-backgrounds but I do need sudo, zgv, uudeview and some sort of icq
program. Someone else may have other preferences. (Yes, I know about
powertools. You may put it this way if you want: make powertools the part
of official distribution.) And then there's the rescue mode which should
be something like a small console-only single-user linux, but with all the
tools (including network ones) you'd ever think of when you need to do
some sort of service/repair. What do you think ?
