Description:     Small linux system for the purpose of system booting
                 or repairing, a boot/rescue system.
                 You can put this system on a cd disk and boot it.
		 It can also be booted from a dos/win9x system.
		 For example if your cd drive is e.
		 C:\ e:
		 E:\ rip rescue
		 E:\ rip  "For help!"
		 It's more or less designed for hard drive boot/rescue/
		 backup/maintenance!
		 It has raid and ethernet/cable/dsl networking support!
		 It has large file support, you can use all the programs
		 for files larger than 2GB! You can only have files larger
		 than 2GB on a ext2/3, reiserfs, jfs, or xfs partition.
                 The programs e2fsck, mke2fs, and tune2fs have ext3
                 filesystem support.
                 It includes the fat16/32, ext2/3, reiserfs, and ntfs
		 partition resizing programs 'parted, ext2resize,
		 resize_reiserfs, ntfsresize'.
                 It also includes the partition image program 'partimage'
                 which saves partitions in the ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs,
		 xfs, ufs, ntfs, fat16, and fat32 formats to an image
                 file. Only used blocks are copied to save space and
                 increase the speed. The image file can be compressed,
                 in gzip or bzip2 formats.
		 It also includes the 'mc' file manager!
		 It has support for these filesystems.
                 ext2     <Linux filesystem, read-write>
                 ext3     <Linux filesystem, read-write>
                 hpfs     <OS/2 filesystem, read-write>
                 iso9660  <Cdrom filesystem + joliet extensions, read-only>
                 jfs      <Linux filesystem, read-write>
                 minix    <Minix filesystem, read-write>
                 msdos    <Dos filesystem, read-write>
                 nfs      <Network filesystem, read-write>
                 ntfs     <Windows NT filesystem, read-only>
                 reiserfs <Linux filesystem, read-write>
                 udf      <Dvd cdrom filesystem + packet writing, read-write>
                 ufs      <FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, & Sun/Solaris
		           filesystems, Only UFS1!, read-write>
                 umsdos   <Linux dos filesystem, read-write>
		 vfat     <Win9x filesystem fat16 and 32, read-write>
                 xfs      <Linux filesystem, read-write>
                 The kernel is version 2.4.21, it has support for IDE
		 and SCSI hard drives.
		 You need at least 32MB of RAM and a 486DX CPU to boot it.
