Summary: Although we run out of time in the quest of including Super Grub2 Disk into Rescatux some work was done in a development machine kindly given by bTactic.

From August 29th 2011 to August 31th 2011 the I Super Grub Disk World Conference was held in a secret place in California, USA.

Jordan Uggla and I met and tried to include Super Grub2 Disk into Rescatux. Unfortunately some problems in our hack planning made us run of time.

But some work was done. We have set up a development machine kindly given by bTactic to speed up Rescatux and Super Grub2 Disk integration. Now the problem is the lack of time. Coming back from my trip to California I found too many tasks on my desk. 🙂 And I suppose that Jordan has his own duties too.

About the hack that we did. You know. You might think that having three days for hacking Super Grub2 Disk integration into Rescatux is too much. And that’s it. You are right. If you had a development environment ready and just want to add Super Grub2 Disk to Rescatux, that’s it. That’s easy!

But it would only have been once.

What we were trying to achieve is to:

• Hack the debian-live scripts to boot from grub2 instead of isolinux.
• Add the Super Grub2 Disk scripts into the disk (but not inside the chroot).
• Send patches to debian-live

and that’s what we will continue to do when we have some free time ;).

You were supposed to see here a photo of the Rescatux / Super Grub2 Disk hacking. I always dreamt of doing it. Just a photo of the I Super Grub Disk World Conference with the two of us. Wow, 2 attendees! But, this is the great thing about hacking, once you are on it you loose your mind. XD
