Rescatux 0.30 beta 4 has been released.

Rescatux 0.30 beta 4 Cdrom or USB ISO for x86 or amd64 Mirror #1 Mirror #2
MD5 (355 Megabytes)

• Super Grub2 Disk 1.99b1 is included (Actually it boots from it not from isolinux)
• It autodetects 64bit systems and loads the appropiate kernel accordingly. This will fix most of the errors about not being able to restore Grub.

As I said this is Rescatux 0.30 roadmap updated:

Bugs and Feature requests they are found in Forja Cenatic. Thank you Cenatic!

Feature requests

• (..) Change user password
• (..) Reset sudoers file

Bugs to be fixed

• (0.30b4) Detect 64bit
• (..) Bind Ctrl+q to Quit
• (..) Hard disk order not working with n different than 2

Issues that need to be addressed before the release

• (..) What Rescatux does not do
• (..) 0.30 series videos
• (..) Review Copyright notice
• (..) Graphical documentation
• (..) Spanish graphical documentation

Whenever I release a new beta the idea is to copy and paste this roadmap and to replace the dots (..) with the beta version where the feature has been implemented. An example would be: (0.30b3).

I hate to write down roadmaps because I hadly never achieve them. Rescatux 0.30 was only going to be the place where to put the new UI. Now I want it to have a new feature (Linux password change) so that someone that has Rescatux 0.29 has a reason to download Rescatux 0.30.

I happen to have too much work currently and I suspect that Rescatux development will be postponed for a month. Well, a part from English, Spanish and Catalan graphical documentation, I have some help from bTactic to complete such features.

After three days of fighting I have managed to make SG2D to boot Rescatux from its iso file.

Thanks goes to SynrG, dba and chals from #debian-live. And an special thanks to mrud from #grml which did find the final workaround that involved using fromiso.

The current workaround might be improved with a proper solution in upstream so that the loopback.cfg generation on debian live is very easy to implement.

You will have to wait a bit till you see a release that includes Rescatux and Super Grub2 Disk.

I need to fix some details such as having a nice background at super grub2 disk part which it is the main screen that you see.

And… of course… the architecture autodetect feature so that it autoboots into Rescatux 64bit or Rescatux 32bit according to your architecture.
