Have you ever actually tried to do this?

With slink, for example, you will find that the documentation does not list
all the modules you need to make a kernel with the correct modules built in
to support the boot floppies. If you get past that hurdle, you will find
that all the modules packages like pcmcia are broken. And so on..
