Comments for Recovery Is Possible!
I love this project !
Sorry to hear that's the last R.I.P release ...
I use it with a small twist:
boot only from network
gpxe loads from url kernel + initramfs and one network module,
httpfs mounts a ripx iso
initramfs has only busybox,init,fuse, httpfs , libraries and links to all other files mounted by httpfs, so I have fast boot time and get the rest on demand.
I saw Slax is getting this path so I must learn how to do those modules...:((
Please keep alive this project !
Mirror broken
The listed mirror site
www.gtlib.gatech.edu/p... is broken or very very out of date.

Cany you tell me if we can use this to make an image of servers to clone that are using scsi raid?
Re: Great set of tools
What's more, it has all the necessary documentation onboard. There is a possibility to add Slackware packages. The developer's site seems more up-to-date, RIP 11.6 is already available. RIP has a one-floppy version, and one which includes a FreeBSD and a Linux rescue system together in a single ISO. The pendrive install script is self-explanatory and it can be run both from DOS and Linux. Thank you!
Re: Great set of tools
It should also be noted that scripts are included to make a the CD image bootable from an USB key, I've found this to be indispensable.
Great set of tools
No sysadmin should be without both the floppy and CD versions of this toolbox.
I've lost count of the number of times RIP has allowed me to save a friend's Windows system!
