Hi, I have one of those iso image thingy's, which you could burn to a CD. Since I'm very new to linux, I don't know if it will do what you want, but if you have an ftp site, I could upload it and you can try.

I made myself a toms disk for ttyS0 and another for ttyS1 and they work, but I have run in to a system that will eventually be a Linux box after I salvage all the .wav files and some pictures that may be on it so I can't reformat the hard drive just yet. If I had a CDROM that contained enough Linux to get ssh and scp going as well as tar and at least gzip, etc, I could boot this CD on the computer in question and use tar, cpio, or even possibly ftp to transfer the contents of the hard drive to another system that is already working and then I can go ahead and install Debian on this former Windows system in the usual manner. Is there anything around now that is kind of like the tomsrtbt disk that fits on a CDROM that would allow me to boot a serial console and have pretty much a normal shell with vi and enough networking utilities to transfer files off the system to another one? I did download a gnopix disk some time back and it probably works, but I wasn't able to get a serial command line shell going upon boot so it is fairly useless to me. Thanks for any ideas.
