On the other hand, in some circumstances a boot manager on a floppy is still the only way into a system recovery. I had to dig out a USB floppy drive to do this just the other day. Boot Magic Rescue, I think it was. On which topic, is there a make of USB stick that is more-or-less guaranteed to boot on any system? I haven't found one yet. Some will boot on this box, some on that one, but none on any of them. -- Rgds Peter
