Sorry, maybe we're talking about different things.  I need a TINY
install floppy image, and then a TINY kernel for the first boot.
Finally it is very helpful and time-saving to edit a GENERIC_TINY
configuration file, as opposed to editing a GENERIC file, to get
ready to build a custom kernel.

But in a couple of more years I imagine I won't be using TINY as
other than a curiosity since people are throwing away perfectly good
Windows98-class notebooks these days.  (I cannot say anything about
other parts of the world.)
