Description:     Small linux system for the purpose of system booting
                 or repairing, a boot/rescue system.
                 You can put this system on a 1.44mb dos formatted floppy
                 or cdrom disk, and or boot it from your dos/win9x system.
		 It's more or less designed for non-networked, stand-alone,
		 home pc hard drive boot/rescue/backup/maintenance!
		 It has large file support, you can use all the programs
		 with files larger than 2GB!
		 You can only have files larger than 2GB on a ext2/3,
		 reiserfs, jfs, or xfs partition.
                 The programs e2fsck, mke2fs, and tune2fs have ext3
                 filesystem support.
                 It includes the ext2/3, reiserfs, and ntfs resizing
		 programs
 (ext2resize, resize_reiserfs, ntfsresize).
		 It also includes the `mc' file manager!
		 It has support for these filesystems.
                 ext2     <Linux filesystem, read-write>
                 iso9660  <Cdrom filesystem + joliet extensions, read-only>
                 msdos    <Dos filesystem, read-write>
                 ntfs     <Windows NT filesystem, read-only>
                 reiserfs <Linux filesystem, read-write>
                 ufs      <FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, & Sun/Solaris
		           filesystems, Only UFS1!, read-write>
		 vfat     <Win9x filesystem fat16 and 32, read-write>
                 The kernel is version 2.4.21, it just has support
		 for IDE hard drives.
		 You need at least 8mb of RAM and a 486dx CPU to boot it.
		 It's a zip archive you can extract it like this.
		 C:\ pkunzip -d ramf-119.zip
		 To create a rescue floppy under dos/win!
		 Put a DOS formatted `format a:' floppy in the drive.
		 C:\ramflop> mkrescue
                 To boot the linux system from a dos/win9x system!
                 C:\ramflop> ramlinux
		 Use unzip under linux to extract it!
		 # unzip -L ramf-119.zip
		 To create a rescue floppy under linux!
		 ramflop# sh mkrescue.sh -fd
		 zdisk-2.15.tar.gz at the site below has a similar
                 rescue system, except it has less programs and you
                 supply the kernel, it then creates a boot/rescue
		 floppy or
 cdrom disk with the kernel of your choice.
