BG-Rescue Linux is a Busybox and uClibc-based rescue system with kernel 2.4.26 which supports the NTFS 2.1.6b driver. It is loaded either from two floppy disks or from one 2.8MB El Torito CD. The system runs entirely in RAM.
BG-Rescue Linux supports a wide range of hardware and filesystems, and can serve as a full backup/restore system for MS Windows systems that use FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32. It also includes bzip2, cabextract, cmdftp, cramfs, dosfstools, e2fsprogs, gpart, lilo, loadlin, lphdisk, mdadm, ms-sys, ntfsprogs, pcmcia-cardmgr, progsreiserfs, reiserfsck, smbclient, syslinux, umsdos-utils, and zip. There is support for automatically loading the F-Prot antivirus program from CD-ROM.
