Interesting new feature: bzip2 kernel and ramdisk loading
What will most be missed: emacs, for the moment, only vi will fit

…ON ONE FLOPPY!
Updated new current fixed better versions of:
e2fsck mke2fs rescuept fdisk pcmcia busybox
New support added to the default image:
eexpress_pro100 ext3_fs pcnet32 serial_console
Removed from the default image:
idetape mouse slip tr emacs debugfs dumpe2fs fsck.msdos ifport pcmcia-scsi
It comes in three flavours, which make the same booted image:
tomsrtbt-2.0.9.dos.zip # for installation from DOS
tomsrtbt-2.0.9.tar.gz # for installation from Linux
tomsrtbt-2.0.9.ElTorito.288.img.bz2 # for bootable CD installation
The home page is:
It’s a boot/root rescue/emergency floppy image with more stuff than can fit.
Bzip2, 1722Mb formatting, and tight compilation options helped jam a lot on.
It is useful for “learn unix on a floppy” as it runs from ramdisk, includes
the man-pages for everything, and behaves in a generally predictable way.
Note: This is a .0.0 version and has many known rough edges…
