Parted Boot Disk

[John van V.]

Hello,

Somewhere I read in the documentation a wish for someone to maintain the
boodisk -- maybe I was imagining things.

Either way, I am building an Initrd as forward research for Devil-Linux.Org
(DL) and I am planning to intall parted, as well as grub and even LVM support. 
I would also like to replace ISOLINUX w/ grub to give some flexibility to
booting.

The DL Initrd is 8mb... so I will have plenty of headroom.  I am supposing
however that a more generic boot suite will fit on two floppies.

I have so far compiled busybox (DL spec) and tinylogin under uClibc.  I am
moving in a /dev diretory and self-debating what to do about /etc at the
moment.

The parted bootdisk uses crunchbox, which is vastly bigger than busybox.  Maybe
both grub and parted can be compiled w/ uClibc.

DL, btw, needs to be able to optionally boot from floppy, and so far the option
is to use win32 products -- politcally incorrect in many circles including the
Linux Society.

John
