I haven't tried, but it should be sufficient to replace the linux kernel
image and the modules floppy in the disks-i386 directory.
The current linux kernel (2.0.36) has all the scsi drivers, nfs, and all
the usual stuff. All the network drivers are compiled as modules.
For the keymap there is a `keyb' script (be careful, it is an hardlink to
some other file) and a config_keyboard() in the dzinstall script. Add the
code of your language and add the keymap to the keymap file in etc.
Remember also that the latest version of dzinstall downloadable from my web
site is old and buggy. I'm working on a new version which I hope to upload
next week.
