- runs 'udhcpc eth0' in background
- working DNS resolution

- runs with memdisk
- in syslinux.cfg or similar use

- runs in qemu
qemu-system-i386 -fda /path/to/zool5-2.4.37.11.img

To include missing drivers yourself, first identify their
availability in linux-2.4.37.11 sources. If successful,
remaster the zool5 with the steps outlined below.

- apply *.patch from directory '/root' (in floppy filesystem)
- copy *.config from same dir to linux-2.4.37.11/.config
- make menuconfig (optional, change kernel config)
- make oldconfig zool5
