rescue.dsk:

This is a BusyBox-based rescue disk for Linux.  It is a reasonably complete
mini-Linux system running from a four megabyte ramdisk, and contains an editor
(vi), networking tools like ifconfig, route, telnet, ping, and wget, and other
tools that might be handy for fixing your Linux machine if you ever get locked
out for some reason, or any time you just need to boot Linux to "edit something
quickly".

The rescue disk is written out to a 1.44MB formatted floppy disk using a
version of rawrite, like the other disk images.  You may then use your choice
of Slackware bootdisks to load it.

Hope this helps someone...  :-)
