Charles,
Thanks for your reply. I haven't looked at the code as I could solved it 
using diskwait the way it was intended. I think however to use an 
USB-stick with the packages as the old system I use has an USB (1.1) 
interface. However it's not that modern that you can boot from it so I 
have to do something with first installing th USB-drivers and LINUXRC 
from floppy  and then loading the packages from /dev/usb0.When it works 
like I want I will mention it to the list as another method to install a 
leaf firewall..
Joep.
