Hm, need to recheck, thanks for reporting this.

It's fine!

Did you do 'apt-get update' first?  The package seems available
in both p8 (stable repo) and sisyphus (development one):
https://packages.altlinux.org/fuse-exfat

It is that both starterkits (with p8-based releases on
12.{03,06,09,12}) and regular builds (with sisyphus-based
snapshots on Tuesdays/Wednesdays) got baked yesterday ;-)

Got it: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35040

Try switching to some virtual consoles (Alt-F1/F2/F3),
it's a problem with Plymouth bits which sneaked into
initrd but not into the rescue filesystem itself.

2 sem: it's actually a mkimage-profiles bug I knew of
but forgot :-/  care to look into that?

No, it's an official distribution and its release takes
quite a bit of effort (including updated docs etc) --
part of motivation behind the Starterkits/Regular builds
project was to skip that and just deliver the code to
those who need only the code.

There's also KWorkstation but the bug with rescue/plymouth
is most likely there too, the build technology [I'm guilty of]
behind them is the same.

It's not that hard, one can have a look using builder starterkit
within a virtual machine (or temporarily rebooted hardware)...
regular-rescue is described in conf.d/regular.mk file,
and a simple "make regular-rescue.iso" should be enough
after adding what one needs to RESCUE_PACKAGES variable.

I've build an image for you with basically the attached patch
(it's slightly more involved regarding the particular place
I chose -- this is to help reuse) and Linux 4.17.0 from a test
task #208675 (see http://webery.altlinux.org), have a look:
http://nightly.altlinux.org/sisyphus/alpha/regular-rescue-20180621-x86_64.iso

PS: exfat-utils were there since 2013 (commit b3e3234c).

Those might be pretty hard to understand at times,
many folks have pointed out that my words aren't
clear enough more often than these should be :(

Ah; so thank you for the useful bug report,
the change should go into the next set of
regular builds (and starterkits either).

Now it's both here and there, or so I hope. :)
