Suggesstions to complete my rescue/install Kit?


Hey guys!
well, almost done with a very nice rescue recover install kit
featuring netbootcd-3.3.1, PartedMagic live, tinycore/microcore with clamav, browserpuppy with gparted and xfprot antivirus and avira antivirus, plop bootmanager, other stuff too

netbootcd/usb net-installs all major distro's

Nice thing about the whole kit is "nomadic frugal". meaning it can run from HD, fat32 usb, ext2/3 usb, isolinux cd, and grub cd too
includes scripts to make a isolinux iso or grub iso

all menu's and setup stuff already included too(syslinux.cfg, menu.lst, etc)

Now, should I add another distro or leave it as is?
so far, it's only about 500MB!

I didn't add systemrescuecd, etc 'cause you don't really run as root
and a rescue kit should have access to anything/everything.

Any suggestions or is it complete?

Well it looks awesome, you seem to have included everything I can think of, I was gonna recommend ubcd, but you seem to have that as well. I dunno, just look around and see if you can stuff it up to 700 MB, if not it doesn't matter.

Thanks H_TexMex_H,
I actually didn't want to add UBCD 'cause it takes a looonnnggg time to edit all the menus/sub-menus(hrs)!
UBCD is full of menus
I actually had made a master menu folder holding all my templates, a week of work and it got blown away,
along with slack12.2 on 1st parttion while playing with Dban!

accidental, but dumb.

anyway, I also wanted to leave a little space on the cd part so someone can add their own distro
or for the pup_saves, which can be written back to cd-r.

tinycore/microcore have gparted, clamav, ntpassword, testdisk, photorec, rdesktop, synergy and lots of apps like that.
I gave the little browserpuppy gparted and xfprot
PartedMagic is cool too with nice desktop


best thing about it all??

it runs from

HD just copy the pkg to parttion and edit your grub.conf, menu.lst, lilo.conf, etc

USB goes on either fat16/32 usb with syslinux or ext2/3 usb with grub

CD scripts included to create a isolinux bootable iso image (make_iso.sh make_iso.bat)

CD scripts to make Grub stage2_eltorito bootable iso image (mke_grub_iso.sh mke_grub_iso.bat)
must have mkisofs/genisoimage/growisofs etc installed to create iso's

I have included all syslinux.cfg/isolinux.cfg/menu.lst + submenu's and other stuff

It will come as a archived file, either .zip or .tar.gz
so, you can make two different iso images, or put it on hd or usb.
