New Loooonnnggg time fave tool.

You'll find it mentioned in my [link|http://twiki.iwethey.org/Main/DebianChrootInstall|Debian Chroot Install] instructions. I was first pointed at it by Heather Stern (part of [link|http://www.linuxgazett.net/|Linux Gazette]'s Answer Gang, back ~1998 or so. It's saved my ass several times (so blame Tom for me still being here).

\r\n\r\n

[link|http://www.lnx-bbc.org/|LNX-BBC] is more tools (including an X environment) on a business-card form-factor CD. Very useful in its place -- has more capabilities than TRB but ties up the (or an) CD drive. Nice bit is that it usually fits into a PDA case making it handy to tote. And of course [link|http://www.knoppix.org/|Knoppix] is there when you can carry a full-sized CDROM.

\r\n\r\n

There are scads of micro-Linuxes as well, including Trinux, mu-Linux, and others. [link|http://lwn.net/Distributions/index.php3#floppy|LWN has a good list of floppy distros] (CDs follow). All told, 358 listed distributions.

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?\r\n

I used your small-gifty just t'other day re an acquaintance's Doze Won't Start problem (into which I did not wish to go).

Impressive when that tiny biz-card thingie Boots! the sucker and IDs all that detritus and, effectively sez tacitly - -

"Lady, yer Doze is flummoxed; it ain't the box"
(and BTW "yer CD reader ain't bad, either")




.. and that's a pretty old copy, yet.
Thanx again!
