If booting from CD is acceptable, then yes, you could use a miniscule Linux to create your own boot CD. Make an initramfs (paying *close* attention to the required and allowed cpio options) that contains the needed utilities, including Busybox. With the right bits, you can create a very slick UI. If plop functions perfectly, extract its files, extract its initrd/initramfs and create a better one. At least examine how they made it work. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
