Actually, since > 90% of those problems are with the system FILE itself, it is
often enough to have a copy of the system file. Create a folder inside the
system folder, and always have a recent copy of the system file there. When
you have problems, boot from a floppy, trash the system FILE, and copy the
copy of the system file to the system folder.
