Has anyone messed with BKO from boot.kernel.org? I stumbled upon it today and it looks neat. You can start an installer for Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat straight from the Internet. You can also pull up live versions of Debian/Ubuntu/DSL/Fedora/Knoppix/FreeDos or use any one of the several system tools available all in about 2 MB plus an HTTP connection to the Internet.
I was going to try to build a super swiss army USB soon, I might change my strategy after seeing BKO. This might be also useful for Install Fests. We could set-up our own BKO server on phantom which could possibly use some of the on-campus mirrors for Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu/etc for the heavy lifting and need only one small loader on media (CD or USB or PXE server for no media at all) to install any Linux OS. No need having lots of CDs. Robert LeBlanc Life Sciences & Undergraduate Education Computer Support Brigham Young University
