You talked about unpacking and repacking the kernel package and also modifying the ISO build scripts to include the floppy module which what I was answering to. There is one official way of getting a module into debian-installer and those are udebs, whether you are creating a netboot image or an installation CD does not make a difference as both the netboot and the CD images for debian-installer just differ in their initrds. The former has more network drivers udebs included in the initrd while the CD installer initrd has more storage driver udebs included. Adrian -- .''`.
