creating a boot disk for using parted on the root '/' partition...

hi...

i'm trying to figure out how to create the required floppies for using
parted on the '/' partition.

various sites i've seen have stated that i need partboot.img, and
partroot-1.6.6.img. i can find partboot.img, but i can't seem to find
partroot-1.6.6.img.

i'm trying to create the required floppies using windows/rawwrite to create
the linux floppies, so i can make the partition changes... does anyone have
a pointer to a site that has the partroot-1.6.6.img file.

the sites that i've seen that have the partroot-1.6.6.gz file arent able to
be opened by winzip.. using a gnuzip app doesn't seem to work either, as it
complains about the format... i've tried looking at various sites with no
luck.

any suggestions/thought/comments regarding the file....

parted allows you to change the all partitions of the harddrive, except the
root drive. for this, you apparently need to have a bootdisk!

thanks

bruce
