No, I rather think DOS has pushed Linux out of the boot disk business -
with kernel sizes that now exceed the capacity of even a HD disk, there
is no way it will still boot from anything less than a ZIP or CD drive,
meaning that it is no longer suitable for diagnosis purposes. If it ever
was, that is - I don't recall seeing any version of the famous DOS
system info tools for Linux. The same holds true for other tools, as I
recently learned when I tried to run a famous partition manager for
Linux on a mid '90s 486 PC; it simply did not run on that machine. ;-)
