Hi, PLD Rescue CD is a great tool and was an important part of the PLD Linux ecosystem for years. But recently it has not been maintained at all. On EFI systems it is quite useless and making it boot from anything else that the original ISO image is more complicated that it should be.
That is why I wanted to build something better. First I tried to hack and customize the original RCD, but with lack of documentation or 'source code' it was a mess. I managed to boot it from EFI but the solution was ugly and the image was twice as big as the original. Then I decided to start from scratch and finally managed to build something that works (at least in VirtualBox and on two laptops) and looks decent. It should also be easier to maintain and customize than the original RCD. The project home is here: https://github.com/Jajcus/pld-new-rescue The first release, here: https://github.com/Jajcus/pld-new-rescue/releases/tag/th2012-0.1 I used Th 2012 as a base so I don't need to update the supporting code every day. I am looking forward to see a new PLD Th snapshot for similar purpose. I am attaching the package list. Not everything what was in the original PLD RCD is included in my image – in most cases because the packages were missing or could not be installed due to dependency problems. Please give it a try and let me know what you think. Greets, Jacek
