Well, often when I need a rescue disk is if I screw up a kernel
install. I normally do this now by booting the normal install and
using the shell vt to mount the harddrive and run lilo from it. So
running sash won't help since the system won't boot. :)

That is just a thing - something that uses the same kernel, libc and
other tools would be a lot more valuable to me.

Well, that is why I was taking about making a CDROM ISO image. :) I
might simply do an install in vmware and make a iso of the entire
installed filesystem with single user as the default boot mode. The
problem then is that you'll get some weirdness with a read-only
filesystem. To do it "right" you would want at least /etc/ mounted on
a ramdisk.
