I make all my backup, install, recovery, etc disk using "yard" and
generate a boot/root pair. It requires a kernel which supports initial
ramdisk, no problem for me.
Suggestion: I create a very bare kernel and load stuff as modules. I
have three net cards including TokenRing, two SCSI controllers, ppa (of
course), various SCSI stuff, and it all fits on a pair of 1680 boot
drives.
I run Slackware 3.[1-4] with hacks, but this will run on RadHat and
Debbian as well, and I would expect any other flavor. Relatively short
learning curve.
