Switching from floppies to disk
I have created an install server, and the necessary floppies (1 boot, 4 module). The info file is working on the module1 floppy, and installing from the http server, as desired. Can someone guide me on what I would need to do to combine all of these floppies into one image? I have some of those "Business Card" CD's, capable of holding 50M. Each floppy has a module.config that tells it "for more network cards, see floppy 2" etc, so I know those files would need edited somehow, I'm just not sure how. I also don't know what other files might need edited. The end result I want is to hand out these small CD's that people can boot from and their system will perform the same network install as if I handed them the 5 floppies. --Jon Robison

If you have this, then there is no need to create floppies at all, just create a bootable CD using the kernel and initrd available on the first CD in "boot/loader". Anas
