On this URL:
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-rescuemode-boot.html
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.
