Could all of that be put into a tarball with every update, or maybe in a rpm? It is easier and faster to just do everything on the harddisk, in stead of writing floppies or even burning cd's. And in the case of floppies, a had disk install can be from a bigger initrd disk than what can be on a floppy. Best regards keld
