I imagine > this would be good for installing on Firewire disks. build EVERYTHING as a module, if we have any hope for making this work in boot-floppies the kernel image must be very very small. some notes however: pmac generally has no floppy drive so we need nfs client support compiled in, as well as network support, and probably hfs support.. yuk. otherwise do what you can to make the system.map, config and gzip -9 vmlinux fit on a 1.44MB ext2 floppy (and 1.44MB hfs floppy with miboot). if that turns out to be abolutly undoable i suppose we can make the xfs flavor use 2880 sized floppy images and just screw oldworlds. the config and sysmap we can ditch if there is no way to fit them (they are gzip -9ed as well). -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
