I have used my install CD for that. It has had pretty much everything I need. Could you be a bit more specific on what you would like to see on a rescue CD that is not on the install one? As for the selectable kernels, I understand that most kernel variants mostly enhance performance, but I have a hard time seeing that as something essential on a rescue CD. Supplying a working portage on the CD might be more interesting. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure you would have to run an emerge sync before you emerge due to how portage works, and that takes quite a bit of time and RAM space. Now tell me why I am wrong. --Daniel Armyr -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ daniel.armyr@home.se f00-dar@f.kth.se Tegnergatan 40 rum 505 +46 8 8 31 52 17 113 59 Stockholm ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
