Just an update to an earlier post about rescue CD's. I am continuing to work on mine, to the detriment of other more practical projects. :-)
My build script continues to improve, now automatically blanking and burning a CD from the generated iso if desired. Yeah, I know there are lots of programs out there to make live CD's, but I got started on this one and anyway it's good experience and shell scripting practice.

I think the CD is quite usable now, but I keep improving it and fixing small bugs. This takes a surprising amount of tweaking and troubleshooting. I run the live CD on a test system and use it's own utilities to do...

Sometimes, some news stories are either just too stupid or silly to pass up.  Today, that happened to me while snarfing through the Fox News site.

First, a newspaper “stole” the Empire State building.  In a matter of 90 minutes, the New York Daily News made some fake documents… and were able to change the ownership of the $2,000,000,000 property.  Yeah.  In 90 minutes.
