My small recovery floppydisk

This is a recovery disk(1440KB) containing everything needed (hopefully) to recover on a not too unusual Linux system, ie. only IDE disks and only ext2, ext3 or minix partitions.

To use it, you download the image, then write it to a floppy. To do this, you'll need a tool that will do a raw copy such as rawwrite for DOS or if you're in Linux, you can do:

  dd if=Recover of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 count=1440

Once copied, it's a matter of letting the machine boot from the floppy and start working.

The disk is made with SYSLINUX, μClibc-0.9.20, bash-1.14.7 (static linked for extra pleasure), busybox-0.60.2 and e2fsprogs-1.33
