I am concerned about this terminology.  If these are the very same disks
generated from the system folder (3 of them) I rather not mess with
them.  They destroy my disks since the disks are greater than 1GB.  As a
result I have to low level format the disks which takes several hours
for each.

The procedure looks fair enough except for the "utility disks" part, not
even getting into space problems with those utility boot disks.

Isn't there a way you can do this with the "Installation Disks" or even
Kicker Disks?
