Creating custom modules disks

10 Aug 2001

      Hello!

  OK, SuSE comes with two different modules disks. These contain
specific modules for specific hardware.

  Problem is that I have to install SuSE via FTP/NFS on machines which
have a (wireless) network card, for which there is a Linux module - but
NOT on the SuSE supplied modules disks.

  Unfortunately, just copying the module to a disk won't do - the SuSE
installation bootdisk won't load it. It needs some kind of gzip'ed ext2
ramdisk images, which I do not know how to create. 

  So, how can I create my own, custom, module disk? 

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Best regards,

  Afonso Infante.
