Another angle is an article (actually 2) done by Bruce Perens for Embeded
Linux Journal.  He goes into creating your own single floppy linux disk. 
The main page is at
http://embedded.linuxjournal.com/index.php?sid=e80c74c40a9feff8056716e59d5a4e35
and the articles are in the archives from edition 1 and 2.
