* Chat: Open the chat for asking help directly in Rescatux channel.
* Share log: After running an option you can share its log (the action registry that it has done) so that in the chat they can help you better. O better, even, you can help debug and fix Rescatux bugs on the fly.

the CD image is large. I found the flash drive for the image after all. I've been messing with my MSI bios for a long time to get it started. But not a single menu item from rescatux. The first two stood up at the very beginning saying that there would be no guarantee. the rest took a long time (an hour or more) to load, but there were a lot of errors and timeouts. I didn't wait, freaked out and formatted the flash drive.

Rescatux is a great tool for difficult times.

thank you, with password reset you save me few hours of installation, usually you can put a little more than 700 MB on standard cd, enough for this distribution

My lap brokes because the hardisk messed up. Thanks to rescatux, i finally can repair the corrupted archives and makes my laptop more fast than ever. Nice job ;)

The ISO is now too big to fit on a CD, which makes it useless to me.
