This is an update to the original PupRescue which was based on Lupu 5.2.8. This updated PupRescue is based on Precise Puppy and has many of the same features as the old PupRescue. With this Puppy you can image hard disks, clone disks, recover files, rewrite Windows MBRs, scan for viruses, and many other things. Also in this version is enhanced support for Mac file-systems which can be mounted through the console (I only had one laptop to test it on so I cannot guarantee compatibility with all Macs). Below is a link to a list of apps for PupRescue_Precise as well as the ISO itself and the MD5 hash.

Got it, run it.
Haven't done anything with it yet.
I'm sure I'll use it sometime.

This is just so you don't feel that nobody is interested.

Hi, just tested your nice distro and i have a few wishes / questions.

The first thing i did before downloading your distro was looking at the PRP_Apps_List.txt. It had many interesting apps. that i wanted to try out. When i started your distro i found that many of the apps. listed was not to be found in the menu. I think ( have not checked ) most of them are located in /usr/sbin folder.

Would it be possible to include the PRP_Apps_List.txt on the desktop of your distro. since the terminal apps. are not listed under menu. and i dont remember the list in my head.

and could you indicate what apps you recommend using ? there is a lot of harddrive recovery programs.

Best regards

Einar

Thanks for the interest guys! One thing to note is that this is based on precise and requires pae support, if you are planning on working on an older computer which does not support pae I suggest checking out 2.5 (in my sig). As for the apps list if you are using a multisession dvd/cd you can jus throw the apps list in the root of the cd.
This version also does not autosave so there is no 30 minute saves or auto saves on shutdown once a savefile has been created, so you could throw notes or documents in and do a quick save and not save anything else or update the AV database. I'm also planning on putting up an sfs with updated AV database every few weeks since its just the engine in there isi by default.
As for a list of what works best thats always relative to the situation however feel free to pm me anytime if you need help. And most of the apps are in /usr/bin not sbin.
