Tell me your favourite rescue USB image and why!
Also rescue tips and tricks as that’s always interesting.
I have been using a Debian installer USB as I had it to hand (DVD image IIRC) but if I boot into a shell without mounting another root FS the number of utilities is quite limited (just busybox basics). For example just now I wanted gzip but it only had gunzip…
I feel like a shell started from the installer USB should have access to a lot more utilities because the files are there on the disk!
Does anyone know a way to set up a kind of USB like the debian installer where you can install packages from the installer into the live environment?
Did you make the custom ISO of NixOS yourself? What did you add?
I did, instructions are here! I don’t remember off the top of my head, but I think it’s mostly network related tools like nslookup and nmap. You can easily add anything you can find on their package search.
Thanks!
