Improve linuxrc/rescue system
a project by aginies
Updated over 6 years ago. 5 hacker ♥️.

**Rescue system** has a lot of options , but most of them can only be set at boot time, first idea is too provide a way to configure them while the system is running.

# some ideas * user friendly interface (dialog box) -> ALREADY AVAILABLE in linuxrc, need some changes ? * autoprobe modules with blacklist -> ALREADY AVAILABLE in linuxrc at boot time * localisation -> ALREADY AVAILABLE in linuxrc * keyboard layout -> ALREADY AVAILABLE in linuxrc * easy mount scripts * VLAN support -> [pull request](https://github.com/openSUSE/linuxrc/pull/2) ![vlan](http://guibo.com/~guibo/opensuse/vlan_enable_disable.jpg) ![vlanid](http://guibo.com/~guibo/opensuse/vlanid.jpg) * auto select external mirror and path to install system -> [pull request](https://github.com/openSUSE/linuxrc/pull/1) ![auto install](http://guibo.com/~guibo/opensuse/auto_http.jpg) - - - # stage2 with more features * short documentation available * provide more tools: ddrescue, partimage, Common FS tools (FS supported in SLES11), test disk, easy mount scripts, FS Archiver, Clone tools, rsync * RPM support: full read/write RPM support * share files over network (samba, nfs) * network tools: ssh server, nslookup, proxy support * get hardware information

    pudc - A PID 1 process that barks to the internet by mssola

    Description

    As a fun exercise in order to dig deeper into the Linux kernel, its interfaces, the RISC-V architecture, and all the dragons in between; I'm building a blog site cooked like this:

    • The backend is written in a mixture of C and RISC-V assembly.
    • The backend is actually PID1 (for real, not within a container).
    • We poll and parse incoming HTTP requests ourselves.
    • The frontend is a mere HTML page with htmx.

    The project is meant to be Linux-specific, so I'm going to use io_uring, namespaces, and Linux-specific features in order to drive all of this.

    I'm open for suggestions and so on, but this is meant to be a solo project, as this is more of a learning exercise for me than anything else.

    Goals

    • Have a better understanding of different Linux features from user space down to the kernel internals.
    • Most importantly: have fun.
