- Tomsrtbt is not picky about the kernel The way I would approach your goals is I would make a 2.4.x kernel with every sound and network driver I wanted. It only requires minix, floppies, and the ramdisk driver, any kernel will work. - I encourage you to make your own based on tomsrtbt. There are already floppy distributions that used tomsrtbt for a starting point. Keep to the directory structure, and build what you want. -Tom
