Re: building custom debian boot floppies with a custom kernel



Hi

It sounds like you just may want to take a look at this section of the
install manual:

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.en.html#s-rescue-replace-kernel

That will be easier than building your own set from source.
