With Gentoo pre-udev (which is still most installations), you need to
enable devfs, procfs, and devfs automount@boot in the xen0 config.

I think general suggestions about how to merge old kernel configs would
be helpful (I've had to do this many times, it's not tough but I've
always imagined most people need to do this).

Here is a rh7 install log...

It's not a big howto, but maybe you could include the 8 or 9 steps
necessary to get ttylinux running, it might be helpful for 'newbies'
like myself who just want to get something working quick to get a feel
for things? 

I reposted the file here, I can leave it indefinitely.

I actually use this image; because ttylinux is based on glibc2.3 (and
not an old libc or uclibc), it's easy to build up from the 4MB base IMO
(like for an IDS or bridging firewall) with recent or precompiled
software.

I think this tutorial is good for getting up and running, I found this
via Google, but I don't know if it is public or not...
