Re: Tools for SSD testing

Can't point to anything SSD-specific.

GSmartControl on Parted Magic is a generic tool for diagnosing SMART-enabled storage devices.

Re: antivirus updater fix

I won't be including the new "chmod" changes for the following reasons: 1. I feel the chmod should be done by the user depending on the situation eg. the scripts need to have +x permissions as specified in the readme, and if UBCD content is on USB memory stick, it is not necessary to +w an...

I have been procrastinating due to work. :cry:

I can't promise, but hopefully I can pick things up in early June when my current project finishes.

Re: Incorrect link for version 5.3.5 on a mirror

Thanks for letting me know!

I have disabled the mirror link for the time being, and contacted the mirror owner about this.

[EDIT: The mirror owner has corrected the error, and the mirror link has been enabled again]

Re: UBCD Live V0.2.3b available for download

"installed programs"?! What's that doing in a live rescue CD? :shock:

Re: UBCD Live V0.2.0b available for download

It's quite easy actually if you have any version of Debian or Ubuntu installed.

In the topic I already linked to, your instructions were already for UBCDLive. No, my instructions were for UBCD. It was tested with UBCD V5.3.4 under Debian Wheezy with multibootusb_7.5.0-1. By copying the UBCD files to the root of the USB memory stick, there's no path issue at all. A different ap...

The need for "syslinux64" is only relevant for a "pure" 64-bit OS. When some form of "multilib*" (or equivalent) is present, the 32-bit syslinux installers are usable in a 64-bit OS. BTW, I am curious about the origin of the "syslinux64" installer. Where is i...
