That's a good idea. I've done that on some of my systems including one Gentoo. I haven't done it on others because of the cabability of the LiveCD.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: ReiserFS said to repaired but isn't :-(
Shouldn't the scripts be running this when mounted as read-only? If it can't be done in this traditional way, then reiserfs should not be considered a production option forcing manual intervention with a boot CD is simply not useful (even if it works).

On some machines I have installed a very minimal Linux system on the boot partition. Normally, this partition won't be mounted, but I have a menu choice in grub which starts this rescue partition. -- Hilsen Harald. I really like this idea. Much faster than looking for the CD, and works assuming the problem isn't the whole drive. Thanks for the idea! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
