[Fwd: fixit.flp or fixit via "live filesystem" CD]

RE2:

The page above always makes a skirting blow or furtive glance at
what is possible with a fixit.flp (namely that /stand and
/mnt2/stand have some goodies) but without the use of the "ls"
binary command I am a fish driving a tricycle (that is, useless!)

Someone please comment from experience!!!  Thank you so much.

Is there a manpage or FAQ explaining the basic commands available
to users during a fixit session?  I understand how to change to
that
terminal using Alt-F4 but then the following commands are the only
ones that seem to work:

pwd
echo
quit

while the following list of commands do NOT work:
ls
   (YES!!! That's what -I- said too, "ls" doesn't work?!?!)
whoami
mount
/sbin/mount
./mount
man

Could someone shed some light on where one can go to RTFM about
fixitting?

Thanks, please CC my email address in your reply...
