I have thought about it a little. What I need most is an existing (minimal) diskless Linux system which I can steal and modify. Desiderata include:
1) Open source (obviously)
2) Actively maintained
3) Support for booting from floppy, CD, and network
4) Lots of network and disk drivers, with automatic hardware detection
5) Easy to glom my own stuff onto; i.e., allowing customization with minimal changes to the files as shipped
Actually, RedHat's installation disks fit the bill except for that last item. Still, I will examine them sometime to see how hard they would be to customize.
Does anyone know of a system which has most or all of these features? I most especially want somebody else to worry about the drivers.

Hi, have a look at: http://lwn.net/Distributions/ There are listed all the existing minimalistic/diskless Linux distributions.
Hope it helps...
Ciao,
