Source and Build instructions for RUNT

"To build the bootdisk, you'll need a few thigs.

* uClibc. The default config is fine.
* BusyBox source code and optionally my patch.
* Syslinux
* You'll probably want a slackware bare.i bootdisk to get some of the files.
* If you want to be able to test memory with the bootdisk, download memtest.
* You may want the various files I link to within this document.

The most substantial change to my bootdisk from Slackware's bare.i bootdisk is the inclusion of an initial ramdisk. You can just download mine below, but then again if you wanted to just download things, you could have just downloaded the bootdisk from the main page. So here's how I built it. [...]

RUNT is Slackware Linux designed to run off of a 128 MB or more USB pen drive. It consists of a boot floppy image and a zip file, similar to zipslack. It is intended to be a fairly complete Linux installation for use as a testing tool capable of booting on any x86 computer with a USB port and a bootable floppy drive."
