When you go into recovery mode from the grub menu you are pretty much in traditional single user mode. For a full environment boot to X from the CD. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 8:24 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mhavlicek1@yahoo.com">mhavlicek1@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I am poking around with an Ubuntu 8.10 install CD boot into rescue mode<br>
and am wondering about the tools for bare metal restore. It looks like<br>
you get sed to edit, but no nfs mount or restore nor tools to put the<br>
tools in place to restore from dump. Particularly dumps stored on an NFS server. Which leads me to ask what is a typical method for restoring an Ubuntu system. It doesn't look like dump/restore is a mainstream Ubuntu<br>
way...<br>
<br>
It looks like I could hold to my dump/restore ways if I use a redhat rescue boot, but that surely wouldn't qualify as a pure Ubuntu solution :)<br>
<br>
I seem to recall years ago building rescue floppy sets using Tom's root<br>
boot kit (?) and Karel Kubat's SAR (?)disk with some flexibility in tools. Is there some sort of analogous Ubuntu rescue CD making package?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
