That helps, but I still don't understand how to do it, where to find the
how-to, or what I'd need to get it back.
Basically what I need to do is format my windows partision and reinstall
because it's got a virus. once I do that I'll need a boot, or rescue disk
to get back into linux to fix the boot menu. but I don't know how to
create the disk with speakup built in.
