Description Rick Jenkins 2011-10-18 16:28:02 UTC 
It is very useful to be able to boot a system which contains the ddrescue program from CD, in order to retrieve, for instance, a crashed hard drive. At present I have to keep a copy of Ubuntu to have this facility. It would be helpful if the minimal install CD had ddrescue, just as it already had memtest86.

Reproducible: Always

As with similar requests, I vote no.
I'm open to add it to the admincd specs, though.
Comment 2 Rick Jenkins 2011-10-18 17:18:03 UTC 
Adding it to the admincd would work for me
