I don't know if that's necessary. I've not used rescue so far due to
lack of understanding. I was talking about the solution I am using right
now.

| i was planning to implement some improvments to the rescue target. the
| idea is to face one problem that rescue has: it extracts a too big
| stage2 even if stage2 is only used to boot-cycle (e.g. prepare root and
| mount chroot/pivotroot). my plan is to split the system-tar into
| multiple tar's: one with the absolute must have (linuxrc, shell, et al)
| and the last one with the full featured rescue system incl. getty's as
| you get it now by extracting the system-tar.
Then please also address the second problem: ease of use.
It's certainly cumbersome having to download a 15MB iso or building a
target even just to get the system to boot.
