I'm still apparently having difficulty making myself clear.
Support for what kind of device I need in my install
kernel is immaterial, because the basic problem is that I don't
know hat needs to go into the image beside the kernel itself.
It's obvious that beside the kernel, there is some kind of install
program that gets executed. Whether that install program is
part of the image on the install floppy, or whether it's a program
executed from the CD is unclear to me.
So, you see, my problem is still as I stated it in my original post:
Is there a HOW-TO or other instruction on how to build
an install floppy with a kernel you've built yourself?
I'm, looking for generic instructions, if possible, not something
related to a particular distribution.
I'd like to be able to install any distribution from any CD, but
using a kernel I've built to support particular devices.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment on the subject
