Building our own rescue image (from scratch) wouldn't be too much of a
project either.  We'd need a relatively plain kernel, lots of modules
available, and some basic tools.  We could make a "state surplus special"
CD just to test machines down at state surplus - I'm thinking tools like
badblocks to test the hard drive, a memory tester, etc.  Of course, these
tools would be useful for a regular rescue CD as well...  :)

Might be interesting for those of you who've not compiled a kernel before,
or built an initrd image.
