Description LuVar 2015-01-10 17:46:05 UTC
I have found some missing things on administration cd (created according bug 352152).

iotop is installed, but not working (kernel options not enabled):
livecd ~ # iotop
Could not run iotop as some of the requirements are not met:
- Linux >= 2.6.20 with
  - I/O accounting support (CONFIG_TASKSTATS, CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING)


I have need for uncompressing deb archive. dpkg binarry is not on admin cd (it is ok). Another possibility is to uncompress it by ar (see http://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/01/28/how-to-extract-rpm-or-deb-packages/). ar binnary is not on cd. Please add it there.

If you're looking for a quick fix, SystemRescueCD is Gentoo-based:

Thank you for looking into the admin-cd and presenting a list of missing features.

I'm fixing this for the install-cd and the admin-cd

I'm adding dpkg to the admin-cd. The reason ar isn't there is that we explicitly remove gcc from the install-cd.

This should be fixed in the latest version of the admin-cd.
Please let me know if anything is still missing / failing.
