14 DAY TRIAL // A few minutes ago, François Dupoux announced yet another new release of his popular SystemRescueCd Linux-based operating system for rescue and recovery tasks. Besides the usual bugfixes, the new SystemRescueCd 1.5.7 Live CD now includes a minimal version of the Samba server, as well as a new utility to easily recover deleted files from ETX3 filesystems. Moreover, applications such as NTFS-3G and Parted were updated and patched. Without further ado, let's have a look at the main changes brought by SystemRescueCd 1.5.7:
· NTFS-3G was updated to version 2010.5.22; · Added the ext3grep 0.10.1 tool, designed to recover deleted files from ETX3 partitions; · Re-added the Samba server, version 3.0.37, with minimal options; · Added extra firmwares for Broadcom wireless cards, required by the bnx2 driver; · Parted 2.2 was patched to fix dmraid devices issues; · The "vncserver=x:MyPaSsWd" option was fixed (the password's length must be between 8 and 12 characters); · Fixed some dependency issues with the SystemRescueCd USB installer for Linux (usb_inst.sh); · The keymap init initramfs was fixed. It now loads the proper font for the Russian language.
