11 The short answer is yes, there are many ways to get a build image going.
12 You can used the bootable CD from rc5, you can use boot floppies, you
13 can wait until drobbins gets this new zdisk stuff going. The
14 requirements for the system to bootsrap from is that it has kernel 2.4,
15 networking support, and optionally, reiserfs support and tools.
