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 :-)

^^^ There's your "badblocks" program. Any hard drive made in the last decade have been self-remapping.. Attempting to write to a bad block will cause the hard drive to remap an unused sector into it's place, until the drive runs out of said "unused" backup sectors, and at that time, will begin simply begin just "losing" storage space... IE the number of total sectors on the drive will begin to shrink.
