+Quickstart on making the Busybox boot-floppy:
+
+  1) Download Busybox and uClibc from CVS or tarballs. Make sure they share a
+     common parent directory. (i.e. busybox/ and uclibc/ are both right off of
+	 /tmp, or wherever.)
+
+  2) Build a Linux kernel. Make sure you include support for initrd.
+
+  3) Put a floppy in the drive. Make sure it is a floppy you don't care about
+     because the contents will be overwritten.
+
+  4) As root, type ./mksyslinux.sh path/to/linux/kernel from this directory.
+     Wait patiently while the magic happens.
+
+  5) Boot up on the floppy.
