oops, sorry. I must have my wits about me.

I try to perform a kickstart installation and equip the client with
a driver disk. AFAIK I can transfer the driver disk via http, ftp, nfs
or I can store the unpacked driver disk in the root directory of a
partition on the client.

Now I build the driver disk dynamically at boot time on the client, so
sucking the disk via http etc isn't an option for me. Is there a way
to store the driver disk image, the unpacked disk or some other blob
with drivers in the ram disk? Using file:// instead of http:// as a
parameter for the driverdisk-primitive doesn't work.

An approach is to unpack the modules.cgz which is contained in the
static boot image, merge the dynamically built driver disk(s) into it
and pack it again. Are those additional drivers copied to the
installed system, too? Or are they only available in the installation
system? Any better solutions?

Michael
