[ANNOUNCE] T2 - T-Resc(ue) v0.4: msg#00044

t2.devel

Subject: [ANNOUNCE] T2 - T-Resc(ue) v0.4

Hi all,

T-Rescis 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, FUSE:
ntfs-3g and zfs-fuse, is squashfs compressed and unionfs write overlayed and
features minit and dietlibc for the early-userspace.

Without X it just consumes less than 10MB, with X started about 15MB. Due
minit is nearly boots instantly into X, even in Qemu without acceleration.

Homepage & Download:

http://nexus.tfh-berlin.de/t2/binary/unstable/7.0-trunk/t-resc-0.4/

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

Changes since version 0.3:
* added: pciutils, sysfsutils, pcmciautils, libusb, dmidecode, suspend,
acpid, bridge-utils
* removed: perl, python (the official T-Resc scripting language is Lua)
* avoid duplicate kernel modules in the initrd and the live filesystem
* fixed zfs-fuse to build with uclibc (does not work correctly, though)

Size is down to 52MB!

PS: To create a bootable USB stick run the T2 conversion script:
./t2-trunk/misc/archive/iso2stick.sh t-resc.iso /dev/sdX

Yours,
