Right now, we do floppies, a FTP distribution and some isos. I only pointing that make release may be tweak to produce a some megs=20 tarball that you can expand on tftpboot. If we have the boot_crunch done and the root mfs, this additional target=20 can't be too complex. And it's easy to test that 'go floppies'. =2D- josemi
