Hi,
I've seen some minimal systems that were using Suse Rescue as Suse minimal installation system + ssh and few apps. They were really small (aqround 30Megs).
Can I use Suse rescue on disk as separate bootable partition ?
Yes, that is possible.
How to transfer Rescue image to harddisc and use it from there ?
The next recipe is unverified, but the simplest is probably: 1. Boot into the rescue system 2. mount /dev/hd?? /mnt for the hd?? use your destination partition 3. find / -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 | grep -v '^/mnt$' | xargs cp -a {} /mnt of course you could copy every directory in / by hand, without the /mnt directory 4. umount /mnt 5. Reboot into your regular Linux installation 6. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the "Rescue" partition to it. You can also use YaST for this. 7. Try booting into the rescue partition. Cheers, Leen
