T-Resc, the minimal, uClibc based LiveCD (or USB stick) rescue system with Kdrive X

Hi all,

T2 trunk has a new target: rescue, code name t-resc.

It is a uClibc based, size optimized, LiveCD (or USB stick - both work) rescue 
system with minimal, Kdrive powered X and blackbox.

It includes nvi, zile (symlinked to vi and emacs), partitioning stuff, ntfs-3g 
via fuse, as soon as it compiled with uclibc zfs-fuse, is squashfs compressed 
and unionfs write overlayed and features minit.

Without X it just consumes less than 10MB, with X started about 36 or so. Due 
minit is nearly boots instantly into X, even in Qemu without acceleration.

  http://osiris.tfh-berlin.de/mirror/t2/unstable/7.0-trunk/t-resc-0.1/

The code is mostly in SVN, only size optimization post-processing is not yet 
commited as the code is a bit hacky right now.

Please test and feel free to propose additions and further space reduction.

I expect about a new version of t-resc to appear every few days until the 
feature set is pleasing.

A soon as it is about 1.0 (in 2 weeks?) I'll compile powerpc and sparc 
flavours.

PS: To create a bootable USB stick run the conversion script that we have in 
T2 since the initial live CD:
  ./t2-trunk/misc/archive/iso2stick.sh t-resc.iso /dev/sdX

Yours,
