[ale] Roll your own distro...

[Brian J. Dowd]

I agree with your comments, as I didn't explain clearly in my first post 
that
I will accept a floppy image (I'm using Tom's Root Boot disk, now) or 
mounted CD Linux
as the basis for the build.
I just don't want anything on the HD except pristine code (such as 
gnu.org or kernel.org, etc. code)
which I have downloaded. I don't want anything from any other distro's site.
