On January 25th, François Dupoux released version 1.3.5 of the SystemRescueCd Linux-based operating system. The new SystemRescueCd 1.3.5 is now powered by Linux kernel 2.6.31.12, with an updated Btrfs filesystem from Linux kernel 2.6.32. The popular GParted application for partitioning tasks was updated, as well as the FSArchiver and NTFS-3G. But let's take a closer look at the updates and improvements brought by SystemRescueCd 1.3.5:

· Updated the standard Linux kernel packages to version 2.6.31.12 (with an updated Btrfs filesystem, from Linux kernel 2.6.32);
· Updated FSArchiver to version 0.6.5 (brings the "--exclude" option, progress information and various fixes);
· Updated GParted to version 0.5.1 (includes a workaround for issues with resizing partitions);
· Updated lvm2 (Logical Volume Manager v2) to version 2.02.56;
· mtools were downgraded to version 3.9.11, in order to fix some issues;
· NTFS-3G was updated to version 2010.01.16 (brings various fixes);
· The "dhcphostname=myhostname" boot option was implemented. It is used by the DHCP client;
· The missing codepages, such as CP850, were added because they are required by syslinux and mtools.
