+# SystemRescueCd offline manual
+
+This page tells you more about the important programs which comes with this
+system rescue distribution, and which tools can be used for common tasks. Please
+use the **man** command in a termainal to get more details about these programs.
+
+## Packages
+As SystemRescueCd is based on ArchLinux you can use the **pacman** command to
+install additional packages. The most common command is **pacman -Sy package**
+if you want to install new packages.
+
+## Storage and disk partitioning
+
+* You can run **lsblk** and **blkid** in the terminal to identify block devices
+* **GParted** is a graphical partition editor which displays, checks, resizes,
+copies, moves, creates, formats, deletes, and modifies disk partitions.
+* **GNU Parted** can also be used to manipulate partitions and it can be run
+from the **parted** command in the terminal.
+* **fsarchiver** and **partclone** allows you to save and restore the contents
+of file systems to/from a compressed archive file. It needs to be run using the
+command line from the terminal.
+* You can use **fdisk** and **gdisk** to edit MBR and GPT partition tables from
+the terminal
+* **sfdisk** is a tool to save and restore partition tables to/from a file.
+* You can use **growpart** in order to grow a partition so it uses all the space
+available on the block storage. You normally need this command after you have
+extended the disk of a virtual machine and need to make the additional space
+usable.
+* The **lvm** package provide all tools required to access linux logical volumes
+
+## Network tools
+
+* You can configure the network (ethernet or wifi) very easily using the
+**Network-Manager** icon located next to the clock at the bottom of the screen.
+* You can also configure the network using traditional Linux commands from a
+terminal. The following commands are available: **nmcli**, **ifconfig**, **ip**,
+**route**, **dhclient**.
+* You can use **tcpdump** if you need to see network packets being transmitted.
+* Both **netcat** and **udpcast** allow to transfer data via network connections.
+* You can connect to VPNs using **OpenVPN**, **WireGuard**, and **openconnect**
+
+## File system tools
+
+* Tools for the most common linux file systems are included and allow you to
+create new file systems, or administrate these (check consistency, repair,
+reisize, ...). You can use **e2fsprogs**, **xfsprogs**, **btrfs-progs**, ...
+* You can use **ntfs-3g** if you need to access NTFS file systems and
+**dosfstools** if you need to work with FAT file systems.
+
+## Web Browsers and Internet
+
+* **Firefox** is available via an icon in the taskbar if you need to search for
+additional information from internet while you are using SystemRescueCd.
+* You can also use **elinks** from a terminal if you prefer a text mode browser

+## Remote control
+
+* You can run an **OpenSSH client** by using the **ssh** or **sftp** commands
+from a terminal
+* You can also connect from another machine to the **OpenSSH server** running
+on SystemRescueCd via the **sshd** service. You will need to set a root password
+and update firewall rules to be able to connect.
+* You can run **Remmina** from the menu if you need to connect to another
+machine via VNC or NX, and you can run **rdekstop** from a terminal in order to
+connect to remote Windows machines over RDP.
+
+## Security
+
+* **GnuPG** is the most common command to perform encryption and decryption of
+files. It can be executed via the **gpg** command from a terminal.
+* **KeepassXC** is a very good tool for securely storing your passwords in a
+file which is encrypted using a master password.
+* The **cryptsetup** command is available if you need to access Linux encrypted
+disks.
+
+## Recovery tools
+
+* **testdisk** is a popular disk recovery software. It recovers lost partitions
+and repairs unbootable systems by repairing boot sectors. It can also be used to
+recover deleted files from FAT, NTFS and ext4 filesystems.
+* **photorec** is a data recovery software focused on lost files including
+video, photos, documents and archives.
+* **whdd** is another diagnostic and recovery tool for block devices
+
+## Secure deletion
+
+Both **wipe** and **nwipe** are available if you need to make sure data are
+securelty deleted from a disk. Be careful as these tools are destructive.
+
+## File managers
+
+* **Midnight Commander** is a text based file manager that you can run from the
+terminal using the **mc** command. It is very convenient to manipulate files
+and folders.
+* **Thunar** is a graphical file manager provided as part of the XFCE environment.
+
+## Memory test
+
+* You can run **memtest86** from the boot menu if you are booting in BIOS/Legacy
+mode. This is not available if you are booting in UEFI mode.
+* You can run the **memtester** command in a terminal if you want to test your
+system memory. This command runs from the Linux system and hence is available if
+you run in UEFI mode. Make sure you run the 64bit version if your computer has
+more than 4GB of RAM so it can address all your memory.
+
+## Boot loader and UEFI
+
+* The **Grub** bootloader programs can be used if you need to repair the boot
+loader of your Linux distribution.
+* You will need **efibootmgr** if you want to change the definitions or the
+order of the UEFI boot entries on your computer.
+

+
+* You can use graphical text editors such as **featherpad** and **geany**
+* You can use text editors such as **vim**, **nano** and **joe** from the
+terminal

+* The **tar** command is often used to create and extract unix file archives
+from the command line.
+* The system comes with all the common compression programs such as **gzip**,
+**xz**, **zstd**, **lz4**, **bzip2**
+* You can also use the **zip** and **unzip** commands for manipulate ZIP archives
+* Also **p7zip** is available using the **7z** command in the terminal if you
+need to work with 7zip files.
+* The **rsync** utility is very powerful for copying files either locally or
+remotely over an SSH connection. You can also use **grsync** if you prefer a
+graphical interface.
+
+## CD/DVD utilities
+
+* You can use CD/DVD command line utilities such as **growisofs**, **cdrecord**
+and **mkisofs** if you need to work with ISO images and need to burn CD/DVD
+medias from the system. Also **udftools** are available to manipulate UDF
+filesystems.
+
+## Scripting languages
+
+* You can use **bash** for running scripts as well as **Perl**, **Python** and
+**Ruby** dynamic languages which are all available.
+
+## Miscellanous
+
+* **flashrom** is an utility for reading, writing, erasing and verifying flash ROM chips
