For fixing boot and partition problems I have been using ultimatebootcd
(
https://www.ultimatebootcd.com/) and knoppix
(
https://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html) in the past. Today I am
relying more on the slackware installation medium itself but it lacks a
few tools for repairing - so I still need some live version. With
current hard disk sizes I even tried to install a 2nd slackware on a
small repair partition but when you destroy your partition it won`t help
and you still need sometimes a live version.
