Date: Thu, 03 Sep 1998 13:50:58 -0400 From: Tom Oehser <Tom@Toms.Net> To: lwn@eklektix.com Subject: tomsrtbt I don't know if it qualifies as news or an announcement or whatever. I've made several recent improvements to the 'tomsrtbt' packagek, which is either a rescue diskette or a distribution depending on how you look at it (I put it in the system/recovery folder on Sunsite, but linux-hq calls it a 'single floppy distribution'.) Recent enhancements include command history overtop ash, support for tulip cards, easier customization, a way to install it from DOS. Here is the current .lsm file... Begin3 Title: tomsrtbt Version: 1.6.263 Entered-date: 13AUG98 Description: "The most Linux on one floppy." (distribution or panic disk). 1.72MB boot/root rescue disk with a lot of hardware and tools. Supports ide, scsi, tape, network adaptors, PCMCIA, much more. About 100 utility programs and tools for fixing and restoring. See 'Read-Features' for the lists of what is included. Not a script, just the diskette image packed up chock full of stuff. Easy to customize startup and scripts for complete rebuilding. Also good as learn-unix-on-a-floppy as it has mostly what you expect- vi, emacs, awk, sed, sh, manpages- loaded on ramdisks.
