I have had good success with SystemRescueCD, which includes a wide variety of 
useful applications for almost any system recovery need.

It does not include the Amanda restore tools, however, so you will need to 
either do a manual restore with native tools (e.g., tar/gzip) or else build 
your own CD with the Amanda tools included. There is a standard way to build 
your own CD, and you can install Amanda on it using standard packages and the 
alien application.
