Really wishing Mandrake would grab this idea but SLACKWARE has what it calls ZipSlack. The deal is if you have a Zip drive or a spare DOS partion or another removeable drive you download the file (a .zip) and a boot disk (.img ) and then unzip the file to the target drive (creating a linux folder tree). if you boot with the floppy (minix )you then can boot the Zip or what ever and you have bare Slack with a large number of modules (i think the whole slackware set). Now to the idea anybody (intel) can boot an EMS system in about 2 minutes and maybe "lockpick" as needed (i think VI and pico are included) WCS you could mount the normal root and compile a new kernel. Comments?? Maybe Mandrake could do a similar deal. Non Intel platforms I don't know but ...
