Perhaps I didn't understand what you need. You wrote

which sounds like you need disaster recovery.

Are you saying that Fedora takes 10 mins to boot on your system?
I use an old 2.4GHz machine, and FC2 (old, too, BTW) boots in
about 2 mins. Something doesn't sound right to me. Why does
Fedora take so long to boot?
Anyway, if all you want is to be able to boot a system rescue
CD, several are available for download and use. I like Knoppix.
I haven't liked the 6.x release, but any of the 5.x releases
should work well enough for you. For that matter, the LFS 6.3
LiveCD probably has all the tools you need. All you need is
something to fix the PT, maybe run fsck in repair mode, and
something which can mount your FS and run an editor. You don't
need complicated tools, because you aren't discussing full
system recovery, just a "fixup" for a "screwup".

What I posted is for disaster recovery, not "quick boot and fix
a simple problem". That's system rescue.
