Re: [LUG] SPAM-MED: An OS that can keep uptodate from a USB stick

 

Personally, I've rescued countless machines and oodles of data with the excellent "system rescue cd":
http://www.sysresccd.org

I have never been in a situation where I think "oh, if only it could ...", because it always can! And I always prefer to update it manually because it's a rescue tool - you have to be 100% confident it's going to work, which you can't be unless you've booted from the exact image before, soon as it's updated there is a (admittedly small) chance something's going to go wrong just when you need it.

TTFN,
AC

Hi guys,

I'm tee-ing up a new "systemd" release of Webconverger and I think it
makes for an excellent "rescue stick" for friends & family.

Using the installer, you can format a 2G stick with Webconverger upon
it and use it to safely get on the Web. It is able to download updates
(providing there is space), so it should always be current.

Be great to get your feedback and support pre-release.

More details on the call to testing here:

Many thanks,
