[pocket-linux] New Project, Bigger System

[Broeisi Rast]

Sounds like a good idea.

But wouldn't it be better if instead of using the diskettes we use a
boot/root cd?

Your idea sounds a bit like the linux from scratch ( or isn't?)
But I think it's a good idea so people like me can learn more and more
about linux.
