Finnix 93.0 released
- Posted by Ryan Finnie on August 11, 2009, 12:01 am
Finnix is a small, self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution for system administrators, based on Debian testing. Today marks the release of version 93.0 for the x86/AMD64, PowerPC, and UML/Xen platforms.
Finnix 93.0 itself is a maintenance release, but due to the length of time between Finnix 92.1 and 93.0, the time between Debian upstream updates warranted a major version number bump. New features include Linux kernel 2.6.30, and updated upstream software.

I find Finnix extremely useful when servicing Windows as well as Linux machines, especially for taking backups of systems that will not boot properly.
I tried to make a bootable DVD using mkisofs using the isolinux.bin file in the v93 iso download and it would not work (checksum error when booting). When I replaced the file with one of 11845 bytes which I got from isolinux distro it worked. Is the copy corrupt in the v93 ISO???
P.S. great work by the way. I have now got bootable USB and DVD. I love the way it always maps the device (whichever device) to /cdrom.
This makes it easy to script partimage as the source files can just be put in on the media without needing to recompile.
I just want to take opportunity to thank the Finnix team for a great linux distro
I was so happy to find this, as I have several old PPC Macs, and Finnix is the best boot CD by far.
1000 HUGS FOR THE FINNIX TEAM
Dude, it's not possible to use the swedish characters åäö ÅÄÖ. The swedish keymap works as far as I can see, but not those three keys. Im so pissed off right now
I've used the FINNIX v. 93.0 for PPCs (e.g. iMac G3s Model A's) and it is indeed an excellent tool. Great work!!!
