Tom’s Root Boot (tomsrtbt) – a single-floppy Linux distribution intended for use as a rescue disk.
tomsrtbt is the most GNU/Linux on one floppy disk, for rescue recovery panic & emergencies, tools to keep in your shirt pockets, and whenever you can’t use a hard drive.
It contains many common tools useful for system recovery (Linux and other operating systems). It also comes with drivers for many types of hardware and network connections. It is able to read and write ext2/ext3, FAT, NTFS and Minix file systems. Several utilities for tomsrtbt are written in the Lua programming language.
Goals:
-as much stuff as possible on 1 floppy disk
– keep it self contained, build under itself
– try to make it behave like a normal system
– rescue and recovery functions get priority
