The LiveCD is generally fine for Linux rescues, but not necessarily as a
general rescue disk, although Linux is quite capable in this arena. It
may simply be that making a few changes to the current LiveCD would do
the trick.

Writable NTFS (still can be mounted ro if preferred)
ZIP/UNZIP
Dos2unix/unix2dos
Mkfs.vfat or similar (formatting fat partitions)
Other certainly, but this is what frustrated me yesterday :-)

There is likely more, and I agree that possibly considering making
portage "work" in this environment would likely be the most interesting
task, if that could be achieved then all else would likely fall into
place easily.=20

What is the best way to get a hold of the lead LiveCD developer (who is
that)?

Thanks,
Sean

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?=20

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.=20

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.
