To "download", you first have to get root mounted. And the source, of
course. This may be a NIC (any type!) or a harddisk with a filesystem.
So you have to include all the SCSI drivers, network drivers, filesystem
drivers, cdrom drivers. A huge number of modules. The compact flavor
(only one driver disk) is good. For "everybody's home system", it should
be good enough.

Please count the needed space and wake up soon. The only drivers I would
drop from the floppy disks are all the multimedia devices.
