I'd like to add a few things to rescue mode. I'm tired of having to use a floppy with hardware drivers when ever I need to go into rescue mode and there are a few other utilities that I'd like to add as well. How would I go about doing this? Any pointers to FAQ's or "How to's"? I've done some searching, but haven't found anything recent enough to be useful. Thanks for any help. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)

Brent, few days ago I opened topic "booting CentOS in rescrue mode from USB (+over network)". Yes, there is type mistake it should be "booting CentOS in rescue mode from USB (+over network)". I got very useful advice from Johnny Hudger. Please see his answer in archive. I use RIP Linux (http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/) for emergency situations. There is manual how to add own programs to RIP in their documentation and I was successful. Unfortunately I am not skilled enough to create mix of RIP Linux and CentOS rescue boot environment. Maybe somebody could advice how to build similar distribution based on CentOS rescue. Sincerely, Martin Minka Brent L. Bates wrote:> I'd like to add a few things to rescue mode.
