Hello :-) I have tried to chceck for badblocks on my / but I did not find badblocks program on LiveCD and there is no option to install it. This is very useful utility, please add it as part of LiveCD :-) Also there is a problem with DHCP based workstations using LiveCD -although interface gets configured it is impossible to update /etc/resolv.conf (by dhclient and by hand) and so this workstation pretty useless for IPv4 (is it more usable on IPv6?). Please update :-) Thank you :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info

It wouldn't be much use with modern disks in any case, since they do automatic bad-block mapping internally and once any bad blocks become visible the disk is failing and you will likely see lots more very soon. The Linux utility is available as part of the sysutils/e2fsprogs port. If you just want to test a disk there are examples in the dd(1) manpage. Ben
