<div>Don't you have a DOSTOOLS dir on the first FC4 CD?</div>
<div>I don't have it here, but I remember it is quite standard to have a dir with tools and images to create bootCD's and floppies.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would also try creating the BootCD using a LiveCD distro like Knoppix.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Good luck!<br><br> </div>
