You can get the (R)ecovery (I)s (P)ossible Linux rescue system here!
You'll need at least 256MB of RAM and a 586 CPU to boot and use it.
There's a 32bit kernel and a 64bit kernel.
You can write any ISO below to a CD, using cdrecord etc.
You can also write any ISO below (except the GRUB version) to
a USB flash drive.
Example: dd if=RIPLinuX-6.8.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M "Under Linux!"
Example: dd if=RIPLinuX-6.8.iso of=\\.\e: bs=1M "Under Windows!"
You'll loose anything on the USB flash drive, but any remaining space
on the drive can be used by using fdisk to create a second partition
and putting a Fat16/32 etc. filesystem on it.
There's a Windows version of "dd" below.
You can create a second partition on /dev/sdb by using "mkpart"
from RIPLinux
# mkpart 6 all /dev/sdb
# mkdosfs /dev/sdb2
The above examples assume your USB flash drive is on /dev/sdb.
The preferred method for putting RIPLinux on a USB flash drive is by
using the "mkusb" script below.
Verify the ISO under Linux or Windows.
md5sum -c RIPLinuX-6.8.md5 "It should say OK!"

Read the USB readme for instructions on how to install
RIP on a USB flash drive.
Read the mkextlin readme for instructions on how to install
the Linux system on a USB flash drive partition. You can
then boot and use it the same as if it was installed
to a partition on a hard drive.
