There would have to be some binary Linux installation to begin with, in order to compile the kernel and packages. I will be looking for details on various things including how it knows where to download from, CD or ftp or WWW site. I browsed the Web site, see it's a 91 MB bziped ISO, requires i586 or better with 8 GB disk space and 1 GB RAM + swap, prefers Athlon and two 30 GB hard disks, one mirroring the other. -- Tom Mueller
