On this URL: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-rescuemode-boo... there is a description of "linux rescue" which includes the following:
From the prompt, you can run many useful commands, such as:
ssh, scp, and ping if the network is started
dump and restore for users with tape drives
parted and fdisk for managing partitions
rpm for installing or upgrading software
joe for editing configuration files
Question: Is there a complete list somewhere, of which System Utilities and Commands are available, if one boots into "linux rescue"?
TIA!

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.

Phil: Thank you for that information! I will boot "linux rescue" and look at the list. 438 is a huge number, compared to the few mentioned by upstream, in the documentation. Lanny

All of the LVM commands are hidden into "lvm" command shell, too.
