Rescue mode

EnGarde Secure Professional includes a rescue mode in the installer. Rescue mode will boot up a working Linux system off of the EnGarde CD-ROM and allow you to trouble shoot your system.

Rescue Mode can be accessed by typing in rescue or linux rescue at the LILO boot prompt. Rescue mode requires that the EnGarde CD-ROM be in the drive regardless if you are booting from the CD or a boot floppy. The rescue system is located on the CD.

Once the system boots you will have a working Linux system which includes many programs to help you recover your system.

To reboot from rescue mode simply make certain all your hard drives have been unmounted and simply press CTRL-ALT-DEL and remove all bootable media from the machine.
