disk Handbook chapter, backups, and MINI kernel

[Dmitry Morozovsky]

Colleagues,

in process of trhodes' 4.X handbook cleanup I found the following:

MINI kernel config in disks chapter is seriously out of date. I'd tried to 
bring it up to date (attached), but even after this kernel is about 2.4 M in 
size, hence useless for floppy boot. Disabling SCSI and enabling ata/atadisk 
does not help much - 2.1M

I suppose the whole process should be reorganized to CD/PXE boot standard fixit 
media which does not suffer from such space restrictions, allows module 
loading, etc?

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                     [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
