1 I wish tom's would update to work with gentoo. I've never ventured into
2 bootdisk creation but I know it's been asked many times over: Can we
3 have a gentoo boot-disk? Single-disk thing like tomsrtbt, but one that
4 works with gentoo for a CD-less install is what I have in mind.

6 I currently have 4-5 p200 boxes that are sitting useless because
7 tomsrtbt is the only bootdisk that recognizes their NIC, but won't
8 chroot because of the known problems. Slack and ZootLinux don't see the
9 nic.
