I recently bought a copy of Upgrading and Repairing PCs (Linux
Edition) by Scott Mueller (with the Linux General Store).

The book comes with a bootable CDROM with utilities such like.  It is
very interesting!  This CDROM is designed as a utility disk that can
rescue disks or create disk images and so on.  What I found
interesting:

1. The ability to create Disk Images - TomsRtBt disk, LRP 2.9.4,
Trinux, and a few others (but not Matterhorn or Eigerstein or
Eigerstein2Beta, which would have been contemporaries of LRP 2.9.4).

2. Almost no diagnostics style information, but rather big text-based
ANSI visuals and instructions.

3. Using alternate video displays for other than just another tty -
FreeSCO does this too.

4. The use of /usr - /usr is a CDROM based directory - a Live
Filesystem.

Something along this order would be perfect for the Oxygen/LEAF
Resource CDROM.

An aside: apparently the sites mentioned - www.linuxgeneral.net and
www.linuxgeneralstore.com - are both gone.  Perhaps the Linux General
Store went belly up?  The domains are still registered.
