Question: Is there a complete list somewhere, of which System Utilities and Commands are available, if one boots into "linux rescue"?
If rescue mode manages to mount your installed system on /mnt/sysimage it automatically adds elements to the path including /mnt/sysimage/bin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/bin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/sbin:/mnt/sysimage/sbin:/mnt/sysimage/usr/X11R6/bin, so it depends on what you have installed.
Typing <Tab><Tab> at the command prompt after skipping the mounting or removing the /mnt/sysimage elements of the PATH variable (e.g. PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin) shows 438 available commands for the 5.2 DVD booted in rescue mode. Won't try to include them all here.
Thanks Phil. 421 on this box. Nice to know!
