slackware rescue CD?
Olive
On Slackware 10.0, the second second could be used as a rescue CD. I see
it is no more the case for 10.2 Is there still a rescue CD? This was
very usefull to have a CD with the necessary Slackware tools
(installpkg, etc...); so you can replace, reinstall an essential packages.

You can do that with the install CD, no?
Worked for me when I was silly enough to kill bash last week :o)

Yes, right, but the second slackware cd of 10.0 has also tools to resize
partitions etc, which I found very usefull

I still use Slackware 10.0, disc 2.
I also downloaded Slax Live CD, which offers a full set of tools. It is
a 150M download, and I liked the result better than Knoppix.

My Slackware CD2 (Slackware 10.2) isn't bootable.
A good rescue system is RIP. See:
http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/
RIP is slackware based. RIP also is able to mount LVM partitions (I have
my Slackware 10.2 installed on a LVM2 system and so this is an important
feature for me). It's also possible to access the network to get
information from www using links as browser (maybe you want to create a
user first and don't want to run links as root).

Usually i only download CD1 , but the rescue disk is in the 10.2 tree.

The rescue CD that is always in my laptop bag is Slackware 8.0 disk 2.
I haven't had a real need to carry a later edition, though that may be
the case for new machines using SATA hard drives. Even if you're going
to use a later version, I highly recommend having one of these around
as there is practically _nothing_ it won't boot on. Later CDs don't
work with certain (mostly older) flakey BIOSs, and in that case, you
need either a floppy disk, or a bootable CD made with the old floppy
emulation rather than el torito.

That said;
What happened to the Rescue Disk for Slackware-10.2 ?
That is the question;
Why was it removed ?
One is needed for _every_ Slackware version !

blame the bloatness of KDE and other apps taking too much space on
Disc1, and now, not enough space on Disc2.
