Hello,

Is SystemRescueCd still a good system rescue tool? The web site has not
been updated for over 1 year. Thanks for other suggestions.

I downloaded one a while back and used it recently and it worked fine.  
Basically, it is a minimal Gentoo from my understanding and from the 
looks of it.  As long as the kernel supports the hardware, it should 
work fine.  So, unless you have just built some bleeding edge rig, you 
shouldn't have any problems using it.

The latest release for SystemRescueCd 2.1.1 is dated 2011-05-07! Just
looking at the "This page was last modified on" is not enough.

Hi,

I use SystemRescueCD for years, and it works fine.
I back up all my system with fsarchiver, and i never had any problem.

Cheers,

You boot from the CD, not the web site, and that was updated this month
(and just about every month).

It even offers a beta version which has been working for me ever since.

Currently (2.2.0-beta005 dated 2011-05-18) even offers a 2.6.39-... 
kernel. It's even more recent than GenToo ~ system.

Since I'm using btrfs I always take the most recent kernel - just in 
case.

How did you repair a windows box with it?  I can't even begin to guess!

Mount it with ntfs-3g, scan it with clam after updating the virus signatures 
(freshclam) and then remove or copy away infected files.

Alternatively, it may be possible to dd the partition and pipe it to clam (not 
sure if this will work with a whole partition instead of a file) using 
something like:

dd if=/dev/sda1 | clamscan -


Alternatively, you can use Knoppix and Fprot, bitdefender and clam.

Or, you can use the many LiveCDs and Live-USBs that Kaspersky, BitDefender, et 
al are producing these days.

The USB installer is also awesome.
