13 Hi cris,
14
15 this sounds strange, as a workaround you can download the modules
16 tarball and copy all the modules you need
17 manually to the rescue disk image. Just gunzip the rescue image, mount
18 it loopback and copy the modules to
19 $FLOPPY/lib/modules/...
20 You might have to remove some other modules you don't need because space
21 is really rare on the floppies.
