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...

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.
