PLD RescueCD
PLD RescueCD is a bootable disk that contains a live Linux distribution based on PLD Linux x86 and x86-64. It uses transparent compression to fit about 180 MB of software onto a single mini CD (50 MB) in a usable form. It can be used to rescue ailing machines, perform intrusion post-mortems, or act as a temporary secure Linux-based workstation. It provides a much nicer rescue environment than your average rescue floppy.
