Damnsmall Linux has helped me out loads today. Had a corrupted /boot partition, DSL helped me access the other partitions to get at my data.

One small request, would it be possible to add 'mt' to allow access to a DAT drive? If it cannot be included in the main DSL, is there anyway I could add it in myself?

Thanks again.

I believe you can apt-get the application
It is called mt-st, a tape control program.

install dsl-dpkg.dsl to get apt-get working.
( download dsl-dpkg from repository )
( if using 0.7 or 0.7.1, type in a terminal)

mydsl-load
"enter location of downloaded dsl-dpkg.dsl"
sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get install mt-st

That should do it.  If you don't have an internet connection
on the machine your working on, download the file before you need it,
and put it on a floppy and bring it with you.
download the mt-st_0.7-2_i386.deb from Debian
( its only 26k )

and from root terminal, install it ...
sudo su
cd /floppy
dpkg -i mt-st_0.7-2_i386.deb
