well, i understood that, and i have my disks. but in the installationprogram, there are two options: - preload modules (for use in initrd) takes modules in the root directory of the floppy i.e. floppy needs to be mounted - configure device drivers tries to mount the floppy then copies all modules to /target/lib/modules/... but the driver-1.bin file can't be loop mounted nor can the disk be mounted. if i strip the first 512 bytes, then the remainder is part of a gzip file, but the installation program doesn't do anything with it. sure, i can take a floppy with the modules on it, but there has to be a better way that's debian native... martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- women who want to be equal to men lack imagination.
