there is a description of "linux rescue" which includes the following:

 From the prompt, you can run many useful commands, such as:

       ssh, scp, and ping if the network is started

       dump and restore for users with tape drives

       parted and fdisk for managing partitions

       rpm for installing or upgrading software

       joe for editing configuration files

Question: Is there a complete list somewhere, of which System
Utilities and Commands are available, if one boots into "linux
rescue"?

If rescue mode manages to mount your installed system on /mnt/sysimage it automatically adds elements to the path including /mnt/sysimage/bin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/bin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/sbin:/mnt/sysimage/sbin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/X11R6/bin, so it depends on what you have installed.

Typing <Tab><Tab> at the command prompt after skipping the mounting or removing the /mnt/sysimage elements of the PATH variable (e.g. PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin) shows 438 available commands for the 5.2 DVD booted in rescue mode. Won't try to include them all here.
