Where can I find the config files used to generate the kernel images of
the installation floppies and/or more information on using the blank.img?
Thanks



BOOT kernel
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig-BOOT

as for blank.img...
read the readme and install files on the CD or in the root of the cooker
tree,
or to put it short... build a kernel with ewerything you need compiled in,
_no_ modules, and copy it to blank.img.... and boot/install...

Thank you for the quick response, but a couple items are still confusing me:
First, the default configuration for the BOOT kernel seems to contain a large number of modules which would be in opposition of the second part of your reply.
Second, I attempted what the readme says (yes, I had read it previously, my mail was actually looking for a bit more detail) and I receive 'Could not open ramdisk device file.' when attempting to load anything onto the ramdisk (duh) even though I have compiled in support for RAM disks (under Block devices). Also, I am unable to switch between virtual consoles (with alt+F3, alt+F4) during the attempted installation, which has me somewhat baffled.
Any further aid would be greatly appreciated.
