Glenn,
	Actually, Erik has a "basic" floppy image built.  He sent it out
(to the list?) a while ago.  It worked pretty well...the only thing was
that the kernel came right off of his laptop, and therefore was not
optimized for anything but.  I immediately place my 2.4.3 kernel in its
place and took off flying.  I think that if we (you the developers and
us the users) want to display a "here's what it does and can do"
example, that'd be great.  There are a MILLION "roll your own" HOWTOs,
but none of them pertain to BB.  At one point someone in the list (I
apologize for not remembering who) sent me a fairly good one, describing
how to create a loop mount of an image file, etc.  I think we really
need a good combination of the two.  That's my US$.02, though.
