A really nice option would be something bootable from dos, like (or
maybe exactly) MINIX's boot.com
As soon as I get an Image compiled and working, I can put an eye on this.

The current GitHub repository is at https://github.com/jbruchon/elks
By the way, there is a good source for this mailing list archive:
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.x8086 as you can see, the
second-last topic is "ELKS moved to GitHub".

Thank you,

Let me put my nose to the grindstone for a while and see if I can get together something that will make ELKS installable and bootable from a hard drive with less difficulty. That won't be a huge amount of work and will definitely close a big gap that has plagued ELKS from the start.
