Thank you for your reply. That floppy looks interesting - although it is yet another floppy with lots of single images. So I guess I can forget building multiple ones... Copying it verbatim is not an option either, since it uses 684KB and I only have 600KB left. And, found in his Makefile: # PREREQUISITES: # 1) SYSLINUX unpacked into ./syslinux-3.11 # 2) Etherboot unpacked into ./etherboot-5.4.1 # 3) Etherboot's Config file(s) patched to your taste 3) is my problem :) since I lack experience what options are needed and what aren't. Anyway, I'll build a few zlilos with default options now and put them onto my disk (3com and realtek ones since I know I already had to fix boxes with these network cards in, plus as many others as will fit.). If someone has a good idea with respect to get more drivers on the disk without needing more space (either by that legendary "multiple driver rule" or by making images smaller), I'll have to change it again :) Since network boot it not the main purpose of this disk, making more space available on it is not really an option.
