[H-GEN] Linux NFS boot/root/swap disk image needed

With there being somewhat of a shortage of available small [working]
IDE harddrives, I'm getting around it by building a diskless unix
box instead.  I've already successfully made a diskless NetBSD-1.2 
system (the bootparams man page doesn't mention you should use full
NFS-style filehandles like "brushtail:/usr"...), but my original
goal was to get Linux going and use its /one/ decent feature
(Minix-styled serial drivers :) in an ersatz terminal server.

Can I ask for someone to compile a kernel for me with the following
Config details: the absolute bare minimum, but I need-- 386/486
processor, Math emulation, no modules, NE1000/2000 Ethernet card
(irq 5, port 0x300, iomem 0xcc000), NFS client, NFS filesystem
(shouldn't need minix/ext2fs/ufs/..), root on NFS, swap on NFS,
(NFS_RWSIZE=2048 ?), and LILO.  I think that should be enough for me
to take care of it from there.

Feel free to blast the gzipped disk images at this address with
metasend/mpack/uuencode. :)
