SystemRescueCd is a Linux system available from a bootable CDROM that provides an easy way to perform administrative tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the partitions of the hard disk or backing up data. It contains a lot of system utilities (such as parted, partimage, and fstools), and basic programs (such as editors, midnight commander, and network tools). It also includes GParted, a Partition Magic clone that makes editing partitions easy with its graphical user interface. This CDROM aims to be very easy to use and accessible to everybody, and it also provides advanced personalization features. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This version comes with complete UTF-8 support. It also adds an option to automatically configure a VNC server at boot time so that you can remotely run graphical programs such as GParted. The network boot options have been rewritten and improved. There is now an eth0=ipaddr option as well as ethx=ipaddr. A bug in e2fsprogs that prevented grub from installing on a partition formatted with mke2fs was fixed. The "initscript=service:action" boot option was added, which lets you start or stop services automatically. The kernel and system applications were upgraded.
