I'll second the vote for antiX as a recovery CD.

Runs quite nicely on a 1GHz Intel with 512MB of RAM from the CDROM.
Should be acceptable with even less RAM.

Subject: [tclug-list] Ubuntu Live CD Fails



TCLUG, 
I have a win 2000 pc in our office that seems to have issues. 
So no problem, I will just backup the files and reload with xp. 
Well it is currently very flakey with the current os, so I dropped a ubuntu 9.04, 9.1, 10.04 live cds in and thought I would save the files that way. Ubuntu live cd won't load. I have tried many different things, including the video card corrections, but it stops at "checking 'hlt' instruction..." 
Maybe the hard drive is bad, but it should load a live cd??? 
Maybe the motherboard or cpu is bad, how do I tell or test??? 
Any thoughts??? 
Tom
