[gentoo-dev] Where can I find info on creating my own minidistros?

Hi 

I'm not sure if this post should be here or in gentoo-user. 

I'm interested in creating my own CD and floppy minidistributions using 
Gentoo. I can't seem to find any info on this. 

There are two things I need at the moment 

(1)A floppy based mini distro contaning afs and parted for dealing with 
linux+win boxes.(If you know about one allready could you send me a private 
email?) 

(2)Since I mess around with my system more than I should :) it would be nice 
if I could create a CD distro contaning parted/sfdisk, tar, gzip and a huge 
tarball contaning my whole system. A bare metal recovery would probably take 
less than fifteen minutes using this method which is a Good Thing (tm). 

I could probably use the boot image from the install CD for (2) so I 
wouldn't need to create a distro for this but general info on how to do so 
(building the system/creating bootable CDs and floppies) collected in one 
place would be useful to me and probably others.
