I imagine kernel 2.4 would be overkill for BasicLinux, at least size-wise,
but the framebuffer support is quite impressive. I've played around with the
LNX-BBC and Linuxcare Bootable CD Toolkits. Both boot from CD on a
surprising number of hardware configurations, and can even launch X in
resolutions up to 1024x768 if the video card is supported. Also good news
for a generic CLI configuration that could allow higher text resolutions
without tweaking.

Slipping back into nonsense, fb support is required for that Amiga display.
