+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.
