Thanks for the information, I'll look at this method for now. > Basically, there are many ways to do this.

No problem, I was looking for some pointers really, but had assumed that as the installer had the option for requesting additional images that there was some supported/defined way of doing it. Perhaps there should be? If Debian is competing for market share with other platforms then wouldn't it be beneficial if there was a fairly simple technique for vendors to create an image or other media, for getting a custom driver into the kernel for installation and thereafter. Not to compare to Redhat because I'm not a fan ;) but they do have a fairly simple form for third party images that can be pulled in from floppy, CD, network, kickstart, etc. It would be great to see something similar in the Debian installer. -Paul- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
