Tired of the old dog-and-pony show?
http://www.sysresccd.org/Download gives you a much more complete environment,
including wifi support (with firmware), and won't conflabulate and change the
devices like that one metioned above, and has a very simple install script.
Here's blkid on the laptop normally:
/dev/sda1: LABEL="system" UUID="d91e2ce9-d1b0-4619-abc3-3886142d58da" TYPE="xfs"
/dev/sda2: LABEL="swap" UUID="f303a606-2bd6-47b1-8761-3d5f212725fd" TYPE="swap"
and after booting with SystemRescueCd:
/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
/dev/sda1: LABEL="system" UUID="d91e2ce9-d1b0-4619-abc3-3886142d58da" TYPE="xfs"
/dev/sda2: LABEL="swap" UUID="f303a606-2bd6-47b1-8761-3d5f212725fd" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="SYSRESC" UUID="52DC-EE33" TYPE="vfat"
Since it's tools are better, it has x86 or x86_64 kernels, more options, and
it's based on Gentoo ... it's a great replacement for those old Gentoo
minimals.
