Well, I'm already at the point where, for my SMP machine at work, I need
to use a CD-RW as a bootdisk.  The SMP kernel, et al, is just a bit
bigger than a floppy disk.  I suppose I could go in and trim out the
kernel bits I don't need, but frankly CD's are cheap enough that I don't
bother.[1]

I kinda wish my machine supported boot off of a USB thumb drive.  It'd
be kinda cool to do that.  But, at least I was able to brush off my
shell script skills and make a "makebootcd" script.

[1]  I've been searching for a mini CD-RW in affordable packs for my
boot CDs.  I can only find 10-packs, without jewel cases.  If anyone
knows a good place to find mini CD-RWs in cases, singly or say 3-5 a
pack, let me know.
