How about a second floppy drive for $15 to $25? I have two in my
firewall just for easy of use. You would have to set your syslinux
package path variable so that LEAF can find the modules on the second
drive.

You could use a path of
PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1440,/dev/fd1u1440
if you are having problems with large format floppies.
OPTIONAL:
<snip>
Use two floppies for more space:
You can hook a second 3 1/2" floppy drive up for more storage. Edit
syslinux.cfg on your boot disk and add the second floppy drive to the
PKGPATH variable (ie PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680,/dev/fd1u1440). Put your new
packages on the second floppy, and add the package names to the LRP
variable in syslinux.cfg (ie LRP=etc,log,local,modules,newpkg) to load
them automatically.
