Subject: (Emergency/Rescue) boot diskettes

Both Mandrake 9.2 and Fedora have refused to make boot diskettes for me,
saying that the necessary image for my system is too large to fit on a
floppy.

Any suggestions?

Is there any way to write the image as a file on a hd and then burn it
to a (bootable) CD?

FWIW, at least Mandrake has an fd0 option in the "create a boot loader"
section of the install. That works just great. Since that works, why
does the !@#$%^! thing refuse to create a boot diskette both during
install and afterwards, from the command line?
