Custom boot floppies?

["George Lenzer" <glenzer chuhpl lib oh us>]

Does anyone know if it is possible to make a custom (single) boot floppy
that would boot into single user mode with sound and network support?  Do I
need to use an older kernel, or can I use the latest kernel source?  How
important are libs to support some hardware if you are compiling support
into the kernel?  How can I find out which libs I will need for certain
applications?

Thanks for any advice,
