Where is the problem ???
1) put the root.bin into the root of your USB-Stick
2) put the drivers.tgz in the root of your USB-Stick
3) change your syslinux.cfg to point to your Floppy-root
and if you want,
4) put the basedebs.tar in the same location
or as alternative,
5) create a FSH (VFAT) on your USB-Stick and put the *.debs in it.
6) additonal you can put other Packages on the USB-Stick too
(dont forgrt to create a Packages.gz)
