The programs (fetchmail, curl, wget, ssh/sshd, mutt, links, lynx, msmtp, tmsnc, slrn, epic, lftp, and FireFOX) have SSL support. Also included are the CD/DVD UDF filesystem packet writing tools (cdrwtool, mkudffs, and pktsetup). The 'ntfsresize' program non-destructively resizes Windows XP/Vista/2k/NT4 or Windows Server 2003 NTFS filesystems. Read /usr/doc/RIPLinuX/ntfsresize.txt on the rescue system. The 'ntfsmount' or 'ntfs-3g' program will enable you to write to a Windows NTFS filesystem.
