First, thank you for this toolkit!

I may have missed something ...
After downloading ubuntu-rescue-remix-10-04.iso and verifying the md5sum I then put it onto an USB flash drive and booted my system fine. However, it stopped at the Login prompt and I don't remember reading about what ID and password to use.

Help!

I use FSArchiver a great deal. It squashes the filesystem and backs it up using a simple command line method. Because it compresses, it is better than partimage. Furthermore, the backed up filesystem can be moved to various types of filesystems -- whether ext3, ext4, reiserfs, etc.

It is now included in the 10.04 LTS repositories and is on other Rescue disks (like SystemRescueCD) as well.

Please consider adding it to your next incarnation of Ubuntu Rescue Remix.

Latest version of ubuntu-remix-804.iso is supposed to have the MD5SUM
9c4f019da1b9d27a469cfbeb5e73dba6 ubuntu-remix-804.iso
The downloaded file 2010-04-25 13:01:48 has the MD5SUM
8c87d8f5931ffa763cd0a1f54abaa05f ubuntu-remix-804.iso

Hi,

it would be nice to have bacula-fd (maybe complete bacula package, depends on what users want) included in ubuntu rescue remix.
bacula-fd is needed to copy all files back onto a crashed computer (after a harddisk failure for example)

Thanks.

I know I am a few days late (you said 25th) .. but please consider putting CloneZilla in the latest Rescue Remix ISO.. I find it the best Image - creation and restore utility, but its one more cd to carry around. Right now I am in the process of making my multi-boot USB pen drive with Netbook Remix and the CloneZilla ISOs in there..but it'd be so much easier if it were already included.. I also noticed Clonezilla already has a ubuntu based ISO out there @http://clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/, but could not find a .deb anywhere.

Thanks for all the hard work!

HY !
It's seem that most users prefered to boot on live cd.
I would preferre to install on a dedicated machine.

Is there any script to install URR on a hd ?

If no, does an install script have any interest for the community ?

And... good works guys !

Hi,

I f*cked the partition table order on my netbook and now I get GRUB error 17. I want to use RR to fix this. Problem is I only have a Windows XP box in an Interet cafe to use.

I installed RR 9.10 r1 on a USB pen drive using USB-Installer-for-Ubuntu-v0.2 and it seemed to work well. But when I try to boot from the isolinux screeen (typing 'live' or just pressing return) I get an error "Could not find ramdisk image /casper/initrd.lz".

The file is /casper/initrd.gz so I edited the syslinux.cfg and it seems to work now.

Thanks for making such a neat little thing!!

Ciao
Ian

What's up everyone, I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hey. Hopefully I posted this in the right section!

I have made my own 'ultra' pendrive that i can boot Ubuntu 9.10, Kubuntu 9.10 and netbook remix 9.10 from, a pendrive with just using the iso files and grub2
configuration. However the same 'setup' i can not get the Ubuntu Rescue Remix iso to boot properly.

List of links i used to learn how to do this --> http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2

In short. You install grub2 to the pendrive (the filesystem can be fat32, or ext2/3/4) then copy the iso files over to a know location.
(i use /boot/iso in this case) Then create a proper grub.cfg file. The hardest part is getting the proper grub.cfg file going.

Here is my working for ubuntu iso files., but not rescue remix grub.cfg
-------------------------------------------------------------------

insmod fat
insmod loopback

menuentry "Ubuntu Live - /boot/iso/ubuntu.iso" {
loopback loop /boot/iso/ubuntu.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/iso/ubuntu.iso --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

menuentry "Kubuntu Live - /boot/iso/kubuntu.iso" {
loopback loop /boot/iso/kubuntu.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/iso/kubuntu.iso --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

menuentry "Ubuntu Netbook Live - /boot/iso/netbook.iso" {
loopback loop /boot/iso/netbook.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/iso/netbook.iso --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

menuentry "Ubuntu Alt - /boot/iso/ubuntu-alt.iso Dont work?" {
loopback loop /boot/iso/ubuntu-alt.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/iso/ubuntu-alt.iso --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

menuentry "Ubuntu rescue remix - /boot/iso/ubuntur.iso (Not working Properly)" {
loopback loop /boot/iso/netbook.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/iso/ubuntur.iso --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.gz
}

# NOTE the initrd.gz is NOT the same as the initrd.lz the other iso files use.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here just to be Complete is the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file to add similer entries to the above to a system installed to hard drive.
You will need to change your root=(hd#,#)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "tinycore - tinycore.iso" {
set root=(hd2,1)
loopback loop /tinycore.iso
linux (loop)/boot/bzImage --
initrd (loop)/boot/tinycore.gz
}

menuentry "Ubuntu Live - ubuntu.iso" {
set root=(hd2,1)
loopback loop /ubuntu.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu.iso --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

menuentry "Ubuntu Rescue - ubunturescue.iso" {
set root=(hd2,1)
loopback loop /ubunturescue.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubunturescue.iso --
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.gz
}

-----------------------------------------------------------
A large # of people in the IRC chat rooms are interested in this feature - So i will keep trouble shooting and hammering away till i figure it out.
but the Ubuntu Rescue release for some reason is having some issues. Its not booting competely and dropping out of the boot sequence.
