What is a good Bootable USB OS that allows me to edit files ?

Im having problems with the bootable OS's that I have allowing me to edit files on a hard drive. They can do many things but I just want to create/open a file like the Advancedsettings,.xml and make changes.

What is a simple bootable program I can put on USB so I can boot into it and then edit and make changes to files On LibreElec that is not working?

Thanks.

If all you want/need to do is edit files in the OS, enable SSH access and connect using PuTTY (on Windows) and use nano to edit files. It's a lot less hassle than (re)booting from another OS to make minor changes.

Well the problem is that LibreElect will not start, so I cannot get to use SSH. Thats why I wanted another boot system to look at disk.

knoppix or system rescue cd

You did not tell architecture for usb bootable os.

Base Librelec OS is not on generic file system. Other OS might see /storage configs, but not base OS.

Assuming Generic: boot LE installer and press <Alt>-F3
