Virus Rescue Disk

[John Seth]

That'll work fine for mounting the HD, but he also want's an anti-virus
program either resident, or accessible once booted.  Neither RH nor
Slackware have that built onto their boot disks.  I'm not a mandrake fan,
so I can't speak for that, though I doubt it for the fact that I haven't
heard of a distro that had their rescue disk w/ anti-virus.  Only tools
for access and fixing other linux partitions, not FAT/FAT32... When
there's a boot disk with FAT/FAT32 and NTFS read/write access, I
personally will be interested as well.
