Hi guys,

I 've been working on a selfmade bootable CD-Rom which has to act as a
rescue kit (name: Trinity Rescue Kit v0.3)for dead or inaccessible
systems (Windows 9x/NT/2K/XP and Linux). So far I 'm up to version 0.3
and I thought it has reached a level where it 's usable.

Features are:

-kernel 2.4.16
-bash shell
-16 MB ramdisk
-network support (most common network cards supported). Use findnic.sh
to try all modules.
-SCSI support (again, most common adapters are supported, not all
because of size limitations)
-DHCP support. If no DHCP server is available, you can always use garp,
a tool that looks for a free ip-address itself.
-mount all possible partitions on every disk on your local computer
(mountallfs.sh). Supported file systems: FAT, FAT32, NTFS and EXT2
-do automatic virus scanning (which first gets you the latest updates if
you have an internet connection over your lan) (virusccan.sh)
-tools to change NT and Win2k passwords and repair NTFS partitions
(chntpw and ntfsfix)
-belgian keyboard support (azerty)

The CD is based on a RedHat 7.1 distribution. I 've tried it on several
PC's already and so far it has worked seamlessly on all but one
(probably because of the exotic SCSI controller)
For now I 've added belgian keyboard support. I know this is not what
the rest of the world uses, but I will bring out a version with qwerty
and qwertz support.

More information and download instructions can be found at

I know it still has some bugs, but I will work them out later.

Hope you can mention it on LWN. I 've been a frequent reader for a
couple of years now (and I followed sponsor banners and bought things
with them :-)  ).

C ya.
