OK
so, I want LQ member suggestions on what distros and/or software to include in my newest cd/usb?

Like PartedMagic is mandatory (100MB)
but, what other smallish distros focus on rescue,etc??

I know about UBCD, but its kinda old now.

While Knoppix isn't really 'smallish', it's one of the most widely used live distros for rescue operations. And then there's RescueCD.

AFAIK, most any live distro will work, as long as it provides a terminal, text editor, and partition manager.

Cheers, and Good Luck!
