Its probably a matter of writing the miniroot so that it made the drive bootable, I took a good look at the first site and the bottom 52Mb modified version of "Damn Small" looks like it will do the trick the easiest.

Also, don't worry about posting URLs, you might have mis-read the rules, its just advertising that is against the rules, as long as you're not trying to sell viagra or real estate.

Cheers,
