A page with the various targets, ramdisk, floppy, IDE and the corresponding config parameters.

I downloaded peeweelinux-0.53-bin.tar.gz from ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/peewee/, and then I applied the patch http://peeweelinux.org/pub/Projects/Embedded/peeweelinux-0.53.10-cfg.tar.gz.
