Eigene Linuxdistri

[ssn]

also ich hät ein paar fragen. der titel is vielleicht ein bisl zu reißerisch, im prinzip geht es darum mit linux folgende aufgabenstellungen ohne großartiges menschliches zutun gut zu bewältigen:
rechnerschnittstellen wie ps2, seriell, ide, parallel, netzwerk testen
cdrom und festplatte auf fehler überprüfen (schnell und doch gründlich)
komponenten wie cpu und ram zu checken.

das ganze sollte möglichst per live cd ablaufen und nicht zu lang dauern.
hab ihr da vorschläge?

hi,

wie waers mit knoppix? kannst ja evtl. knoppix remastern und so an deine anforderungen anpassen.

jo, die idee is mir auch schon gekommen. es gibt ja auch knoppix basierte distris wie overclockix, aber die bringen halt ned genau des was ich will.
mein problem liegt ja auch darin dass ich ned weiß wie ich das aufziehen soll. sollte da dann ein script ausgeführt werden?
wie schauts mit den programmen zum testen aus, als das einzige das mir einfällt is memtest

[test0r]

Zum Thema "knoppix remastern" gabs im Linux Magazin mal einen Artikel. Und auch im web gibts einiges.

Was genau willst du denn testen?

[flashbeast]

es gab doch mal knoppicilin, das afaik zur virenbereinigung gedacht war; vielleicht waren da auch diagnose-programme bei? vielleicht kann sich dazu jemand äußern, der mehr weiß...

wie wärs denn damit: sysemrescuecd (http://www.sysresccd.org/)



Linux-kernel-2.4.27-xfs The current release is based on linux-2.4.27. This is the last stable version of the kernel. It was patched in order to add support for the XFS file system, and add the Speakup screen reader for blind people. The precompiled kernel includes a lot of drivers, in order to work for most users.

GNU-Parted-1.6.11 Parted is the best linux partition tool. It's a reliable text based partition editor for Linux.

QtParted and PartGui This is the most interesting feature of this CDRom. You can use these two graphical partition tools without XFree86 (they work with QtEmbedded). They can be considered as the best free PartitionMagic clones for Linux. They allow you to see a chart of your hard disk, create, format, delete, and modify partitions. You must start with the Frame Buffer in order for these utilities to work well. PartGui is not developed anymore, then QtParted is the best choice.

Partimage-0.6.4 Partimage is a Ghost/DriveImage clone for Linux. It allows you to save/restore any partition of your hard disk into an image file. If you have a problem with your partition (virus, hard disk crash, error), you can restore it without having to reinstall your OS.

Grub-0.94 / Lilo-22.5 These tools are the most common bootloaders used with Linux. You can restore your bootloader from this SystemRescueCd. For example, if Windows removed Grub, you can run grub from this CD, and reinstall this bootloader.

File System tools Each file system has its own tools. For example XFS provides xfsprogs. It allows the user to format an existing partition, to resize another one, ... We provide reiserfsprogs for ReiserFS, xfsprogs for XFS, jfsprogs for JFS, e2fsprogs for ext2/ext3, ntfsprogs for NTFS, dosfstools for FAT/VFAT. A beta version of Reiser4Progs is provided. This is the tool that manages ReiserFs-4 file systems.

Evms 2.3 EVMS (Enterprise Volume Management System) is a powerful logical volume manager, such as LVM. (It supports LVM). It allows to manage the space of your hard disk with a management more powerful than partitions.

Archiving tools Of course, tar/gzip/bzip2 are provided for Unix users. This CDRom also contains zip/unzip, rar/unrar/unace for Windows users. It allows users to backup/restore their data from this bootable disc. We also added Dar (Disk Archiver). It's a tar clone, and it's a lot more powerful.

Sfdisk-3.07 sfdisk is a partition table tool. You can save and restore your partition table from/into a file. Even logical partitions are supported. For example, "sfdisk -d /dev/hda > hda-backup" will make a backup, and "cat hda-backup > sfdisk" will restore your partition table. It's very useful if you make an error with parted. Don't keep the backup on the hard disk ! Of course, you need to copy the backup to another computer, or to any removable media.

Editors During a system rescue, you may need to edit system files. We provide both nano (a lightweight editor) and vim-6.2 (VI Improved). Newbies can use QTinyEditor. This is a very basic graphical text editor, designed with a Qt interface.

Midnight Commander MidnightCommander (mc) is a NortonCommander clone for Linux. It is very easy to use, and allows you to browse all the files on your hard disk. You can copy, rename, delete, move, search, and edit files.

CD/DVD burning tools You can use the cdrecord packages, that comes with mkisofs. It the linux standard CD burning command from console. Mkisofs allows to create an ISO image file to use with cdrecord. Cdw is a text ncurses based front end to make cdrecord and mkisofs easier to use. Udftools are provided for packet writing. Now, you can also use dvd+rwtools. This package make DVD burning possible.

Network File Tools We also provide basic network tools, in order to allow you to exchange data with other computers. You can use Samba ("mount -t smbfs //ip/share /mnt/path"), NFS, ssh (client and server), PPP (connect to the internet), lynx (console web browser). LUFS (Linux Userland File System) allows to mount FTP, SSH, file systems.

Network admin tools Many standard network administration tools are provided: DNS-tools (such as nslookup), nmap (network exploration), netcat (network piping tool).

Security tools Chkrootkit search for a rootkit installed on your system. A rootkit is a package installed by a hacker that allows to hack it.

Anti-virus Clam-AntiVirus is a free sofware Anti-Virus. You can update the definitions from the CDRom, and scan your system for a virus.

Web browsers Two lightweight web browsers are provided: lynx and links. They are useful if you need to have a look at a detailed documentation during your usage of the system. In FrameBuffer mode, the links web browser can be used as a graphical browser that show images, and that has a nice GUI. You have to give options to the command line of the program in order to have the graphical mode enabled.

CaptiveNtfs 1.1 CaptiveNtfs is a project that allows mounting NTFS partitions under Linux with full Read and Write support. Read the manual for informations about how to use it.

Perl 5.8 Perl is a powerful and free language. Many administration scripts, and many programs are written in perl. The system is able to run perl scripts.

Secure Deletion Several wiping tools (such as shred and wipe) ensure that files are really erased from your hard disk, and nobody can read data.

Misc Tools md5deep allows you to calculate the MD5 sum in subdirectories, wipe is a security tool which ensures that data in a file is really destroyed and unrecoverable.

System boot disks The CDRom comes with many virtual floppy disks. These floppy images can be used as a real boot floppy disk. They provide many important services. Here is a list of the provided disks:

* FreeDos allows running DOS programs without MS-DOS
* MemTest+ test the physical memory, and tells if it is damaged or not
* Gag (Graphical Boot Manager) an easy to use Boot manager (such as LILO)
* Ranish Partition Manager a free partition editor
* Aida a powerful hardware diagnostic tool (as sandra)

des is ja mehr so ein rescue sys, ich bräucht was um komponenten auf fehler zu testen (also auch bei funktionierenden pcs zu schaun ob sie 100%ig in ordung sind)

schon eher ;) allerdings testet das so sachen wie parallel, usb und ps2 ned mit, oder?
