SystemRescueCd is a Linux system available from a bootable CDROM
that provides an easy way to perform administrative tasks on your
computer, such as creating and editing the partitions of the hard disk
or backing up data. It contains a lot of system utilities (such as
parted, partimage, and fstools), and basic programs (such as editors,
midnight commander, and network tools). It also includes GParted, a
Partition Magic clone that makes editing partitions easy with its
graphical user interface. This CDROM aims to be very easy to use and
accessible to everybody, and it also provides advanced personalization
features.

Changes:
This is mostly a bugfix and quality improvement
release. The default kernels were upgraded to
Linux-2.6.25.04 and the alternative kernels to
Linux-2.6.24.07. aufs is used instead of unionfs
to improve stability. Booting from a network via
PXE or with docache now works with only 256MB of
RAM. The btrfs filesystem support was updated to
0.14, Xorg-server to 1.4, ntfs3g to 1.2506, and
gparted to 0.3.7. Fonts in the graphical
environment were improved. Support was added for
256-byte inodes in ext3fs in grub-0.97. The
epdfview PDF viewer was added. A shell problem
with the serial console was fixed.
