If you asked "How do I test my RAM?" there, very quickly someone would say "install memtest86+". There are also HOWTOs covering many topics, probably including drive cloning & secure wiping. Very often questions like this have already been answered so a search provides immediate answers. + #5: Genix Info (genixinfo) (2011-07-20 20:20:45) + Andreas Jaeger, + My suggestion is to do what Robert Davies said, more so, quick and + easy, where anyone can do maintenance to the computer, with packages + already installed on openSUSE Linux, as it is in Parted Magic, and in + the case of Live -CD, use the feature to load the system from the RAM + to free the driver CD and automatically eject the driver CD, a Live-CD + or DVD installation, at the time of restart. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310154
