Hi!

I did a dump of all of my important file systems like
/, /usr /var and /home and gzipped them.
I was lucky and all of them fit onto 700MB CDs.

Now i have a question: When my system gets really unusable how should i
restore it? Is there a boot floppy for a really minimal FreeBSD which
contains fdisk, restore *and* gunzip?
Or would you rely on a rescue CD and where would you get one from?
I think a linux rescue CD will not work for that.

Thanks for any hints in advance.

With kind regards
Martin.
