Timo's Rescue CD Set
Timo's rescue CD set provides an easy way to generate bootable CDROMs with a ready-to-use rescue system on them. The system is designed to be fully customizable and easy to build. The rescue system includes reiserfs, parted, partimage, nmap, w3m, bash, sshd, telnetd, ftpd, and nfsd. It is based on Debian's "Sarge" release. LILO, syslinux, isolinux, and GRUB are supported. The project is evolving more and more into a "Debian on CD" project, which means that its use is not limited to a rescue CD; it is also possible to install a whole Debian system on CD.

I meant the Boot Images branch, of course. The project is still being under constant development.
This Branch is Discontinued
The kernel is getting too big to fit on a single 1.44MB floppy disk, so this branch is discontinued.
branches
There are three branches:
Default - the main branch where new releases of the toolkit are announced
Boot Images - here are new releases of the 1.44MB boot disk image announced, which you can use to boot the rescue cd in case your bios does not support bootable cdroms
ISO Images - here are new releases of the prebuild rescuecd ISO image announced
ISO image password
the password for the ISO image is "rescue".
