I have my original copy of the Debian 1.2 "rescue" disk (the one I used
long ago to boot debian and install the first time), and it's bailed me
out more times than I can count ... it is possible to
do most of these system repairs using just that disk, because you can
boot and mount your filesystems with it, then do repairs as long as you
can use "ae" instead of emacs. I recommend keeping a couple copies of this
disk around.
