IMHO there is little-or-no difference between a "diskimage" and a miniroot.
The concept of being able to 'dd' a file onto a disk with one system and use
that to boot+install another, is valid just about everywhere. It Is Good.

Also, it has the nice property of not overflowing a floppy (i386!) or stomping
the boot loader (sparc!) ... and the kernel is just GENERIC so it presents
less risk of crossing a memory hole (mac68k! sparc! anyone I forgot?) ...

I've got my hands full until the end of the month because of the holidays.
Santa needs to bring me another UPS so I can bring the rest of the machine
room back to life :)
