That would work.

Since my Linux installations are on separate disk, not the system boot
disk, boot diskettes give me a warm, fuzzy feeling for if/when my main
boot disk goes bonkers. Besides, it makes me MAD when the distros won't
make something that simple--especially when Mandrake demonstrates that
it can!.
