CrashRecoveryKit v2.4.21-mdk91 based on Mandrake 9.1 i586 was released on
23 september 2003.
* 23 september 2003, Release of CRK v.2.4.21-mdk91. crash2421-mdk91.iso is
based upon the Mandrake 9.1 i586 Linux distribution. The ram filesystem
for the mdk91 edition is 16 Mb and now needs at least 24Mb ram to boot.
In addition the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) administration tools are
added.
* 15 september 2003, An enhanced version CRK v.2.4.21-rpmrescue is released
which has a special RPM rescue und recovery util added. Sofar the RedHat
6.x and RedHat 7.x series have had a static binary for /bin/rpm. RedHat 9
however has a dynamic shared elf binary for /bin/rpm. This has caused a
tremendous misgrief amongst users. I created a script install-rpmrescue
which installs symbolic links so that redhat's rpm can still be run with
the option --root=/mnt if e.g. the root filesystem is mounted on /mnt.
* 21 july 2003, To be able to resize your NTFS partition on your desktop
PC or laptop i created a new iso called crash2421-ntfs.iso which is
also based on RedHat 9. kernel 2.4.21 has been patched to include NTFS
driver v2.1.4a from http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/.
ntfsprogs-1.7.1-1 has also been added. These ntfs programs contain
the tool ntfsresize which performs the Non-destructive Resizing of an
NTFS Volume. I have tested ntfsresize a couple of times and sofar
it just has worked ok. a small HOWTO.ntfs has been added.
