BG-Rescue Linux Version: 8.1.1 - Released: 2020/11/18 BG-Rescue Linux is a very small Linux distribution (download-size < 20MB) which is intended mainly for rescue purposes. The system runs entirely in ram and can be booted either from usb-stick or cdrom. It can be booted either on BIOS or UEFI hardware. Besides i386 it also includes a 64bit Linux kernel generating the possibility to chroot into a 64bit (amd64) userspace environment. The system can serve as a full rescue / backup / restore system for Linux or Windows based computers or to facilitate the installation of a recent Debian oder Ubuntu Linux via debootstrap. All the relevant major filesystems and many network cards are supported as well as mounting samba (cifs) and nfs shares over network. A wide range of disk- and filesystem utilities as well as strong compression tools are integrated, including a 64bit version of lrzip. A graphical frontend (ytree) is also included. Installation on a usb-stick (or sd-card) Please replace X.Y.Z with the current version number (eg: 8.1.1)... You can use BG-Rescue Linux to boot from a usb-Stick or a sd-card if your system supports it. During the installation process ALL DATA on the usb-stick will be erased.
