It's the fdisk/mkreiserfs, restore rsync ssh/nfs (not using dd) that I'm
stuck on.
Also should have been more clear, cdrom drives are not available, need
to use a floppy (or two) and the network.
Using dd like you say sounds like a lot of trouble. I think it would be
easier to make floppies with rsync ssh reiser kernel etc.

Haven't seen that one before. Looks like it has a floppy section
too. Will check it out!
