hmmm... You've checked the makers website? I'm 100% sure you'd be able to find a boot disk image from Redhat, YellowDog, etc...

Did you format the 3.5" disk on a Winblows PEECEE??? I'm guessing the issue is the 3.5" low level format crap is bloated due to windows sucking ass, and is taking up the .02 meg that you need.

Possibly try to find someone with a linux box, format the disk on there and copy the image from within linux...

Or perhaps try a different 3.5" disk vendor... .06 meg for low level crap on a 3.5" disk sounds like a lot to me. Then again, it is Windows...
