Some time ago someone posted a step by step response on
how to created a floppy boot disk which contained lilo.
I always boot from floppies without lilo, and now need

somewhat confusing - nontheless I soldiered on.
Eventually, I got 'nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123-4.deb' created

Normally, I've used make config for kernel recompiling.
I've decided to move a Woody installation to the 2.4.x
