Some comments about the release:

This release does not add any new useful options compared to Rescatux 0.29 so you are not advised to renew your Rescatux disk if you already have Rescatux 0.29.

This is the second release of the Rescatux 0.30 series. It is a beta because there are some many changes in the UI. Please comment your experience on the Rescatux forum. Please say your word at Super Grub mailing list or try to find us at Rescatux chat.

The rewrite of a hard disk dialog into Python usually it is not a reason to make a release not even a beta release. But… it is because the current dialog is quite a nightmare to understand. Now you choose a hard disk press on UP button and it moves upwards.

Now that I have managed to implement such a python dialog I think the rest of the Rescatux 0.30 development will be easier. It’s interesting that some people think that Rescatux lacks an application for installing packages (synaptic). I will think about it.

I have also tried to improve the Fix of Windows MBR option but install-mbr command is deceiving me. I might finally rely on syslinux and setting up active partitions.

Waiting for your feedback!
