I think you may find what you are looking for at:
www.bootdisk.com
There are bootdisk image files for numerous platforms at this site - OS/2,
Linux, DOS, Windows, etc.
You could also send email to the person that hosts the site, explaining
your situation, and they may be able to "custom make" a boot disk
for your purpose and email it back to you.
Cheers ... Gerald
