I use the Ultimate Boot disk - it has a number of hardware diagnostic
tools as well as a few linux boots etc. And it all fits on one of those
mini cdroms (80MB ones??).

However it has issues with some of the newer hardware - since the
kernels on the linux boots are quite old, so I tend to carry a Knoppix
disk around as well.

I cant remember the url for it, but I'm sure you'll find a link to it
from google.
