A minimal linux rescue distribution with the goals of being small, compatible and very usable. Features as a cozy shell and a multitude of partition rescue/editing tools all based on up-to-date releases like 2.4.x kernel with USB support etc.

The project has been sleeping due to school and work. The minidist has also worked well for me so I haven't been forced to update anything. The kernel is far from current though, I expect to put some work in it quite soon.
alcolix-2.4.20-b3 changes * reworked initrd and rcS (init scripts and more) * big probs with GLIBC fixed * ntfs and ext3fs patches added to kernel * moved root disk from cpio.gz to cpio.bz2 format (smaller) alcolix-2.4.20-b2 * a big bunch of binaries added to root (more mkfs/chkfs's and a lot more) * uClibc compiled initrd busybox-binary (smaller) alcolix-2.4.20-b1 * more USB controllers supported (for kbd and similar) * ISO9660 (cdrom fs added) * moved to kernel 2.4.20 alcolix-2.4.19-x * initial release, lots of work but I managed ;)
