Contents
The system is a BusyBox and uClibc based rescue system with kernel 2.4.
The system uses DevFS with DevFSD for /dev and tmpfs for /tmp.
The system has full NTFS read/write support using ntfs-3g.
S-ATA devices (eg harddisk) are supported.
The user can choose between 32 different (including swiss) keyboard layouts.
If an executable script “bgrescue.rc” or “bgrescue/bgrescue.rc” on the cdrom exists it is started at bootup.
The great antivirus program F-Prot can be automatically loaded from cdrom into tmpfs. You only have to download F-Prot and burn it into the subdir /bgrescue on the cdrom.
