There are several better alternatives if what you want is a full linux
without repartitioning. I think DragonLniux, DOSlinux, and others, maybe
LoopLinux, all run either umsdos or loop filesystems; and several floppy
distributions such as MuLinux already have gcc add ons. Tomsrtbt is for
rescue and recovery, and for swiss-army-knife type tools, for unexpected
uses- NOT for gcc + vim type stuff. It just isn't a good fit. -Tom
