No, I must not be have phrased the question correctly. I am looking for a floppy or floppys that
I can use like a windows boot floppy. I know that I can use a rescue cd when a system goes down
but I am not wanting to do that nor asked that question. That is what everybody seems to assume
that is the question. I would like a way to set up partitions before I install an os. I want a
way to delete existing partitons and then recreate them the way I want to before I install. This
way I have more control on how and where or what os is on what partition.
