I have the original installation diskette to boot from in an emergency for now,
but how do I go about creating one from scratch?  Specifically I need the 
capability to restore files using dump and format/maintain partitions.  I also would
like to use my own compiled kernal.  Is this possible?

If there is a HowTo: I'd appreciate some pointers as to it's location.
