If you are talking about the "Create Utility Diskettes" functions, you
may be working too hard and not getting the best-latest disks.

I have been using that function on FP15 systems. It chokes on one disk -
2 or 3 I forget. I just put a clean disk and press enter. It picks up
where it left off. I then have parts A and B of that disk. They boot
and never ask for part B.
