Thanks for the suggestion - would that "business-card"
size cdrom work for that? I'll burn a cd, would take
that one, unless that one won't work as rescue CD.

Am hoping I can do a full fsck on the root disc just
in case; shutdown -r -F now` doesn't seem to force
that on the ext3 file system, is there a configuration
to force a full fsck?
