(On the topic of driver disks).
I've not found really good documentation on driver disks. To create
dd.img do you just create a normall driver disk and `cat /dev/fd0 >
dd.img`?
I've been using FC3. From the source in driverdisk.c it looks like it
loop back mounts the image and when I try that it seems to find the files,
but my installer segfaults.
The driver disk works when you use a floppy.
thanks,
