Some of this stuff is written in arch-specific assembler and the less of it the better.

No floppy boot support Posted Jul 17, 2003 22:10 UTC (Thu) by allesfresser (subscriber, #216) [Link] Not only that, but it seems that the kernel is getting too big to fit on a floppy a lot of the time anyway. Perhaps using isolinux and putting it on a CD-RW would be an alternative? I've found it pretty easy to test out Slackware boot CDs this way.
