===== PLD RescueCD (rcd) - OBSOLETE =====

This is older RescueCD project, may not work in new environments.

[[http://rescuecd.pld-linux.org/|PLD RescueCD]] is a bootable disk that contains a live Linux distribution based on PLD Linux (2.6.37 modular kernel) made in Poland. Furthermore this version uses transparent compression (squashfs) to fit about 180 MB of software onto a single mini CD in usable form.

PLD RescueCD can be used to rescue ailing machines, perform intrusion post-mortems, act as a temporary secure linux-based workstation (using ssh, vpn connecting to remote host - other networking clients are also supported), install PLD Linux, and perform many other tasks that we haven't yet imagined. It provides a much nicer rescue environment than your average rescue floppy.

==== Problems/Solutions ====

=== No block devices available ===
Rescue cd should find and load proper modules for block devices but sometimes it fails. You can try default "ahci" (or any other driver you know should work) and later 

<file>
modprobe sd_mod
</file>
to get load ''/dev/sd*'' devices.
