Thanks! I was able to customize tomsrtbt by unpacking it onto my Linux file
system, added the Advansys driver, ran /dev/MAKEDEV to create /dev/scd1, and
took out ce, emacs, and elvis. I then booted into tomsrtbt and ran
buildit.s and it built the disk and I was able to install it.
There was an interesting side effect after I ran buildit.s: It created a
tar file called tomsrtbt-tomsrtbt-1.7.186.tar.gz instead of
tomsrtbt-1.7.186.tar.gz.

No. Here is an example of a rebuild, done with only a DOS partition
to work with:
cd /tmp # on tomsrtbt, almost all the free space is in /tmp
mkdir mnt1 mnt2 # make 2 mount points
mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 mnt1 # mount the DOS hard drive on mnt1
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=15000 of=mnt1/loopfile # make a 15MB file
mke2fs mnt1/loopfile # make an ext2fs filesystem in the file
mount -o loop mnt1/loopfile mnt2 # mount the loop filesystem on mnt2
cd mnt2 # change to the new filesystem drive
unpack.s /dev/fd0u1722 # unpacking directly from the floppy diskette
cd tomsrtbt-1.7.205.unpacked # cd to the new directory
# make changes! # here is where you do whatever you want!
2/usr/doc/buildit.s # now we build a new image file
cd tomsrtbt-tomsrtbt-1.7.206 # the build goes in a new directory
./install.s # this command puts it onto a floppy
umount mnt1 mnt2 # might as well clean up
Note, you do not need to do this if all you are changing is rc.custom.gz
or settings.s or if you have enough space on /dev/fd0u1722 to add stuff.
