PLD RescueCD is a bootable disk that contains a live Linux distribution based on PLD Linux (2.6.24.3 modular kernel) made in Poland. Furthermore this version uses transparent compression (squashfs) to fit about 180 MB of software onto a single mini CD in usable form.
PLD RescueCD can be used to rescue ailing machines, perform intrusion post-mortems, act as a temporary secure linux-based workstation (using ssh, vpn connecting to remote host - other networking clients are also supported), install PLD Linux, and perform many other tasks that we haven't yet imagined. It provides a much nicer rescue environment than your average rescue floppy.
Support serial console (9600bps, port 0, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).
You need at least a i486 machine with 40MB RAM to run PLD RescueCD. The entire system is able to run in RAM, so you can remove the cd after booting.
Kernel 2.6.24.3
Support for a lot of filesystem types (XFS, Reiserfs, Reiser4, Ext2/3/4, HFS/HFS+, ISO-9660, UDF, JFS, UFS2, SMBFS/CIFS, MS DOS, NTFS, and VFAT) and contains utilities for system recovery. It also has IDE/SCSI/SATA, RAID, LVM2, Ethernet, DSL, pppoe, USB, serial, irda, mtd, ieee139, pcmcia, framebuffer, ipsec, cryptofs support.
Drivers for popular network cards, filesystems or disk controllers you propably will find in the modules located on this CD.
Full list of utils in this release is total of 547 files.
