USB Linux Recovery Distro

I read an article a few months ago about methods of booting into a PC that failed and one of the methods was a specially built linux distro on a USB stick. Does anyone know what it's called (I'm sure it was Linux).


Cheers in Advance

Michael

RIP Linux will do this. It comes as an ISO image for burning to a cdrom, but there are instruction on how to put it on a USB device in a USB Readme file on the site.
