Are you the same one who said that you were already doing something like this?
Dunno which thread you are referring to...but I do currently have a debian based rescue cd that is distributed through my company...

If you are imaging data thats infected with viruses using ghost and you restore the image, your not getting rid of the problem.
The rescue cd backs up data via zip or just plain copy...there is no imaging...the servers we connect to on our network are all antivirus managed so whatever files we copy up to or zip up to the server is cleaned or blocked

The company standardizes on Ghost so no imaging on the rescue cd although I have played with partimage before and even recommended it to the company...

This sounds like a cool project. Instead of just limiting it to your company have you considered shaing it with all of us?
I am...as soon as I have a working aioscript I will post it here for everyone to use and work and fix and clean up and add to...etc etc etc

As far as security and password resetting you sounded worried about I am sure most here have seen
The Offline NT Password and Registry Editor
shhhhh!!!!! don't tell anyone!!! actually like I said before...the tech in my company are mostly Windows savy and have no clue on Linux...in the documentation that I have for the cd I give credit to the actual developers and reference their links...

Thing is there is no one in my company that can take all of the tools and put them together in a working fashion as I have done...

If you or someone could add backup/cloaning/imaging support it would truly make a strong rescue disk.
I'm assuming when you speak of imaging you speak of ghost or partimage or something like that...if so...I haven't figured out how to run Ghost within the linux session...if anyone here has figured it out using dosemu please let me know

Partimage does work but its not part of my tools since my company doesn't standardize on that.
