If you could provide a roadmap on how to do this, or even better have a chance to do it yourself for 2.4.27+ (2.4.32 would be great), that would _really_ be useful.
2.4 is a smaller kernel than 2.6, and for supporting legacy systems that only boot from floppies, I regularly use it on a single boot floppy, using uclibc and busybox, along with e2fs tools and also dialog, for lots of support software we develop. I guess we have a thing about getting it all on one floppy, but it would be helpful if we could jump into a 2.6 kernel on CD, for some situations. Legacy systems won't boot from CD in most cases.

2.4 is still fairly easy to get going. The problem is all of the related hardware fixes which are hard to identify and back port.
