Purpose of Rescue disk
|
|
|
| Hi, I am about to install Fedora Core 3. I successfuly downloaded iso
images of FC disks 1-4. Along with that I also downloaded iso image of
a escue disk. I don't know what to do with it. I can't seem to find
the exact usage of this disk.
Is this disk really required for installation?
Any comment/suggestion?
Thanks,
Usman

The rescue CD is for emergencies like in case you need to access your
Linux system in the case of failure (i.e. you cannot boot into it). It's
also included on the first installation CD or on the DVD (linux rescue).
