Peanut Linux I understand is like Tom's Root Boot, a complete Linux with 
tools and utilities that fits on a floppy, so that you can boot from it.  
Having a linux system that fits on a floppy allows you to fix problems with 
your installed Linux that block proper startup.  You would boot to hdc1 
[first drive on second controller (master drive on that controller) partition 
#1]  [hdd (second hard drive on the second controller) in my case is actually 
a CDROM, put here because it transfers data at the same rate this hard drive 
does (initial booting POST detection of drives will usually tell you the data 
transfer rates)], hda6 [first hard drive (master) on first controller 
partition #6] or wherever your /(root) partition is located.  
    I'd sure like to learn something about "disaster recovery".  How about 
some comments!  -Gary-

 Peanut Linux is a micro-version of the OS to use in small devices.  It
 will fit on a floppy.
