SystemRescueCd 0.2.7 (29/10/2003) !

[VILLA21]

SystemRescueCd is a linux system on a bootable cdrom for repairing your system and your data after a crash. It also aims to provide an easy way to carry out admin tasks on your computer, such as creating and editing the partitions of the hard disk. It contains a lot of system utilities (parted, partimage, fstools, ...) and basic ones (editors, midnight commander, network tools). It aims to be very easy to use: just boot from the cdrom, and you can do everything. The kernel of the system supports most important file systems (ext2/ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, vfat, ntfs, iso9660), and network ones (samba and nfs).

Hallo

I have tried Systemrescue 0.2.9 pre on a 40GB IDE, for Repartitioning and Formatting (fat32 and RFS and swap).
Did a goog job.

Only RFS and JFS partitions could not be resized.
