I use both 3.05 and 6. They will both run from a floppy while booted
from a DOS floppy, assuming you have two floppy drives -- that way the
HDDs are inert during configuration. Otherwise, burn it to a CD, or a
ZIP drive.

Yes, we know, and that is the point. If you are going to use FAT32
and not have Win available to fix it, then if it dies, I guess he is
lost, unless you know something else that will work. PM will delete
it and recreate it. I guess that is a fix.
