There is *always* something for Linux!
First off, try out tomsrtbt (Toms Root Boot), which is a single floppy
distro of Linux with heaps (I mean *heaps*) of very useful utilities.

Second in the ranks (and only because it's based on tomsrtbt) is the
Linuxcare bootable business card. It's a mini-cd with 40MB of Linux goodness
ready to fix anything you throw at it. It's saved me numerous times with
Linux boxes, NT machines, and even a Netware machine (ugh!).

If you come to the next SLUG meeting, I have a spare one I can give you.
