tomsrtbt bootable from usb floppy
by John Lumby - Aug 19th 2008 14:54:37
Not sure if this project is still active.
Several years ago, there were some posts about wanting to be able to boot
a tomsrtbt from usb floppy. I didn't see any definitive answer although
many suggestions. I made a working one recently, based on kernel
2.2.26.
It boots ok from my TEAC FD-05PUB via an uhci controller. I
had to make several mods to the linux kernel (both in usb-uhci and in the
ramdisk load init) and also change the tomsrtbt settings (settings.s and
the lilo boot parms) to suit a removable scsi device.
If anyone else still interested after all these years, ask and I can
provide more information.
John

Best Multiplatform Admin Tool!
by skot - Apr 8th 2002 13:08:41
Thanks for the great recovery tool! I use it to repair many different OSs'
problems and have been using it for a couple of years now and always have a
loaded disk handy.
When ever someone asks how to fix a broken OS, I send them your way, or
give them tomsrtbt already on floppy.
Thanks again Tom!

cool rescue disk
by Quan Vu - Mar 9th 2002 19:45:46
Thanks,
I was able to modify my hard drive contents when Redhat won't let my
computer boot, because I messed with the kernel to allow undeleting of
programs. Only a simple mistake in the fsck's command option, cause Redhat
to bulk, and load the file system in read mode only : (, so no
modifications to fix the system can be done. Thanks to this rescue disk, I
was able to fix the problem in minutes.
thanks again,
Quan

ghosts and goblins
by Golden Spud - Aug 28th 2000 14:03:22
Several months ago we needed a way to back up Windows 95/98 boxes so that
we could quickly restore them in the event of an operator (or Windows)
error. The hard drives are big enough to store a compressed image on a
separate partition so we didn't have to worry about networking issues.
(Each computer is slightly different anyway so it is a nightmare either way
:-)
A program like GHOST, however was not in our budget, so I turned to
single-floppy distributions for help. After some research I decided to use
tomsrtbt, and it turned out to be a great solution.
It's not elegant (yet) and I've only done one revision, but it has a
nice little name - GOBLIN - Ghost, Only Better, for LINux. Thanks Tom!!

sweet
by Joseph Engo - May 24th 2000 21:05:03
I have been using it faithfuly for over a year now and it has saved my ass
many times. This is *the* best 1 disk distro for recovery. I have used it
to repair many windows computers.
I had a friend that lost everything on his computer. He had no
drivers for hes CD-ROM or anything. Windows refussed to boot of the CD,
So, I used this disk to copy the files needed to boot up the first time.

Great util
by Aqua - Feb 5th 1999 20:12:05
Very nicely done, makes use of a lot of devious tricks and somehow gets
away with all of them. The best rescue disk I've seen yet.
Be sure you use floppies in good repair -- that 1,722k formatting
isn't forgiving on disks dug up from the bottom of one's desk.
