Hello Jorn, >>> So, to me the question is more along the lines of "is there somebody >>> who is willing to work on making booting off something other than >>> floppy and DRom easier?" So far, the answer to that has been "no" (and >>> there's only so much 5 or so people can do in their spare time). > What would the effort be?

I even have a memory stick with Bering-uClibc installed, but I created it by hand: -Fdisk the stick and set the bootable flag -Format it -Installed syslinux on it -copy the packages to the stick (replace initrd.lrp with initrd_usb.lrp and rename it to initrd.lrp) -Change leaf.cfg and syslinux.cfg to use the correct boot device
So there is no need to maintain an image, just an extra target (next to CD-ROM and Floppy) is needed.
