So much for the 'send later' on thunderbird as it sent it straight away,
so I'll repeat some of my previous e-mail.
Thanks for putting me straight regarding your query, but I'm glad as I
fixed up one of my long-term problems and that was making a bootable CD
rather than a floppy. I would also like to comment that I have in the
past used the system rescue CD from
http://www.sysresccd.org/download.en.php. It seems to work fine and I've
even used the qtparted provided on the disk but my problems have mainly
been configuration problems which which were easily fixed. The sponsor
of this CD appears to continually update the CD and provides beta
versions as well.

I tried the rescue CD you mentioned but could not get USB keyboard or
mouse access when it booted but all seems to work on the rescue CD I
mentioned above.
