I hear what you are saying and I already have this.
Was wanting to use a floppy so other users can boot the system into a shell
from the floppy
have users mount the floppy and execute my 'setup' dd script to image the
drive of their choice.
Once I find a floppy distro that works the way I want, i'll start looking
into having it mount and run the script
itself, probably via rc.local (I assume that these floppy distros have
rc.local).. If not I'm sure I can work something out.

I was trying to avoid having to modify an ISO to get my script in as it is a
lot faster for me to make changes to a file that is on a floppy, rather than
having to re-burn a cd to make a change.
