Show HN: LifeboatLinux, recover your damaged system from a 35Mb EFI Linux distro

7 pointsby hchinchilla3 months ago
I was tired of having to search for a USB drive every time I mess something with my computer so I decided to create this small EFI file that can be put in your EFI partition to boot from it. It has everything you should ever need to mount your filesystem and chroot to it so you can fix it. You just need to drop the file in your EFI partition and you can boot to it from your BIOS menu.<p>I would appreciate feedback and ideas to make it better.

Can&#x27;t mount my ZFS system.<p>If I understand correctly, you wouldn&#x27;t be allowed to prepackage it in your distributed software anyways.
