All this was done on my 12.2 side of system. See Signature below for Config.

I downloaded the 12.3 Rescue CD from the opensuse download page.

I get the same menu as the 12.3 Live CD. Nothing about Rescue. Is this correct and if so why would I need the Live CD also? I will report seperately later after I make sure I did not do something wrong.

Ran md5sum and sha1sum. Both correct. Then burned CD with the version of K3B from :

[CODE] URL: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/410/openSUSE_12. 2/

9wvj:~> rpm -q k3b k3b-2.0.2-101.7.x86_64 [/CODE]

Burned the iso and booted the system. I get the same menu as the 12.3 Live CD. Nothing about Rescue. Is this correct and if so why would I need the Live CD also?

Also installed the version from packman. No difference except it seems to retain the burn info and does not check md5 if you try burning again. I will report seperately later after I make sure I did not do something wrong.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

I downloaded all three images and burned them, but only booted the DVD for installation. Once I saw it's 'rescue' entry in the boot menu, I didn't think to compare it to the others. Then, after the installation and during debugging of some minor problems, I booted the released 'rescue' CD and can confirm it /appears/ to be a 'live' CD.

regards,

Carl Thanks for your response. Thats what I did at the RC2 level. Saw the Rescue and downloaded it but never got to burn it. I redownloaded it this morning and burned. I have also booted it and get the livecd menu. Did not go any further since I am working on 12.2 this morning.

It is not installable. Runs xfce.

The idea is that the selection of tools is better for rescuing. dd_rescue, photorec, mc, parted, yast.

There are already multiple such live images out there, well known, well established, exiting for years. Why do we need yet another one? What it does better than knoppix, systemrescuecd, partedmagic and others? It is quite useful to have such tools as part of installation DVD, so I can spare extra download. But if I need to download extra image anyway, why exactly should I chose this one? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlFNKpsACgkQR6LMutpd94xhFACfQSz8XPZjdGfutFN7dw1QAbpE CBkAnAmj7hBZAWSAOjroYda721JR0PaY =Vba4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It is openSUSE. It has the same kernel flavour, same style of things.

But they are not part of the installation DVD :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
