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 |

On which topic, is there a make of USB stick that is more-or-less guaranteed |
| 11 |
to boot on any system? I haven't found one yet. Some will boot on this box, |
