There is no way of supporting ALL cases otherwise i would like what
to do with my 386 Floppyless NetLess/CDLess machine.
I think the way should be to provider a MAINSTREAM installation
solution with good documentation what to do if you are not Mainstream.
I am currently building Linux Mipsel and we will have at least 10-20
Architectures so there will be no "common" boot disks. There
will be good documentation for everyone ...
