[olug] Pocket Rescue (was Knoppix question)

[Vincent.Raffensberger at dtn.com]

Bob, Regarding the bbc-lnx project:  That looks pretty nice, but I'm 
trying to make a pocket cd with more than just Linux rescue tools.

Sean, Thanks for the suggestions. 
I'll surely get 'minicom' in there.  I have a personal distaste for it 
though.  It's ticked me off enough that I just use a getty in inittab to 
bind a serial connection to a virtual terminal...
I'll look into 'mc'.  I didn't realize many people used it other than from 
a gui wrapper.  It shouldn't be a problem though.
I had opted for 'wget' rather than 'lynx' due to the size.  If there's 
still room, I'll add it too.
I already have joe, pico, nano, emacs and vi.
I don't see much use for nntp in a rescue environment, but email could 
come in handy.
Which email client would you suggest (other than telnet :) ?

The Linux rescue stuff is taking around 38Mb (compressed - cramfs).
The memtest, ntpasswd and freedos are taking up another 9-10 Mb.

Here's a full list of what's in the Linux mode so far.

How about some communication utilities:

mc (Midnight Commander)
Lynx (text web browser)
A "reasonably sized" editor (joe, pico or vi/vim)
A text email client
A text news client
PPP
Minicom
