Methinks that's excessive. All one really needs is something such as SystemRescueCD on a u.s.b. drive on hand, which I always have with me.
If one's machine be sufficiently destroyed that it can no longer boot from that, I don't think another computer can fix it.
- KptMarchewa 6y agoSecond machine is usually for googling unexpected problems. I'd never attempt using something like SystemRescueCD without that possibility.
- Nullabillity 6y agoUsually a phone would be enough for that. Hell, with something like DriveDroid[0] you don't even need a separate computer to flash the rescue image. [0]: https://www.drivedroid.io/ https://www.drivedroid.io/
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoOne can do that on SystemRescueCD; I don't understand your angle. It comes with internet and a web browser.
- KptMarchewa 6y agoSo would you boot the CD, google the question you want to google, write answer down to paper notebook or make photo, and then restart to resume installation?
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoNo, I fix my machine from SystemRescueCD if anything go awry. I wasn't thinking of “resuming installation” so much as “accidentally made my machine inoperable”, which becomes apparent when rebooting after the installation. If the machine were not made inoperable, I would simply use the web browser that comes with the live medium of the installer.
