Hey Craig, The point of the floppy disk is to make upgrading easier. What is supposed to happen is you back up your changes to the floppy and reboot. When the system boots and loads the modules (modules, etc, root, et. al) from the CD it then checks the floppy for any additional configuration, and loads that information as well. In the end you have a much faster booting box (as it is just the config data on the floppy which takes up way less room), also the upgrading of the box should just be to burn the latest version of the dachstein release and put it in the router and reboot (much easier than previous upgrades). So while it would be possible to create a CD with all your modifications - to do this you would just do a full backup of the packages to floppy and then use WinISO to put the newly created packages onto the CD. I personally wouldn't recommend this as it kind of breaks the upgradeability of your router.
