Try to insert the new installation vfat module as the lsmod reported that it
wasn't inserted anymore.

Try to mount the floppy to be able to run some script !!!

I divide the package in three part :
- name
- name-devel
- name-config
Name contain the file structure,binaries and doc
Devel like usual
Config contain any host dependant config file.
Which allow to update the binary without hurting the config file or updating
the config file without touching the binaries.
However, I am willing to perform some change after the installation
For example ethernet card order reorganistation to have the motherbard card
always as eth0, etc.
As I don't want a BIG perl file with my postinstall, it is divided in
script/plugin.
But to run them I must mount the floppy !!
