the idea is to do make a boot floppy that allows you to install Gentoo :)
so, we'd be aiming for bootloader + kernel (2.6.x does not support the
oldschool 1 disk w/out bootloader style) + workable env to setup your fs, d/l
a tarball, and chroot from there ...
uClibc has proven to provide small binaries so we can fit a lot on 1 disk :)
probably be looking at the 2 disk series in order to get it all ... 1 disk
w/kern + modules and another disk w/all the utilities you need to setup your
system for the chroot.
like i said, i need help with the bootloader stage to keep this thing going
