Hello,
I've updated my Makefile. This new version supports booting the Gentoo

- type 64000 in the field ramdisk size

Hello,
here is a revised version of my previous post. Due to gnu make's inability to
handle spaces in paths there is a showstopper in my previous Makefile. Since

use this revised version. Best is to put it in an emp
Hi list,
I put together a Makefile to build an oldworld boot+utility cd, but it's,

I have installed debian sarge using kernel 2.6 on a beige G3. It
