I would give only one star, but the site changed this and i can't edit the rating
============================================================
I use this for over 10 years. It was the best system over the years and often it was the saving angel for me. The system were very flexible and stabil.
But all the ongoing versions (over 5.3.x) are the biggest bullshit under the sun.
a Rescue-system with arch-Linux and systemd, what did they smoke...
Pros
the old versions are available
the rating where automatic changed to three stars, this is a fake site!
Cons
all versions over 5.3 are completely useless for a admin

None of the checksums match any of the files, tried 6.1.5 and 6.1.6, downloaded the SHA256 files and none of them match, something's up! Also my download speed to get those files were so fast, it was like they were coming from a backbone of the internet, someone has compromised this project.

Not as good now it's based on Arch. PATH problems finding files (/usr/sbin), EFI access to restore boot options doesn't work for me.

I don't mind systemd, but one star for dropping 32-bit support.

Five-star comments and download statistics is a lie. It's a shame.

It's too big for a CD!!!! It's over 800 mb! It won't fit on a CD!!!!!
It might work just fine on a DVD, but it's not called 'SystemRescueDVD'!!!
Pros
None. It doesn't work.

I concur with the other folks on the one star rating. They completely ruined it. So many basic things are missing, like all the directories inside the /mnt directory... And even the wifi worked out of the box. Now I gotta make all that stuff? What is this, Linux From Scratch? Not knocking them, they're cool. And really! systemd? Sorry, my live Slackware can do so much more.
5.3.2 is the last good version. I downloaded two copies, in case I lose one

Version 6.x - full fail. "Rescue" - not rescue, "System" - only Arch, CD - ???. Ordinary LiveDVD common among thousands.
