I've uploaded tomsrtbt-1.1.4.38.tar.gz to Sunsite to go in system/recovery,
and to ftp.clark.net/pub/toehser/rb/tomsrtbt-current.tar.gz where it is now,
and submitted the updated .lsm file to the LSM database.

It is a boot/root rescue/emergency floppy image with more stuff than fits.
Bzip2, 1722Mb formatting, and tighter compilation options helped jam it 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.

The home page is: http://www.toms.net/~toehser/rb.  There's also a listserve.

Features list and .lsm file follow:

    ELF kernel 2.0.33 with:
AHA152X AHA1542 AIC7XXX DMSDOS EATA EXT2 FAT FAT32 FD FUTURE_DOMAIN IDE IDECD
