Re: Generating a Lenny Netinst CD with a newer kernel
Prividing dummy packages for the two packages created an iso, which
boots, and recognizes both the networking card (after adding the
firmware from an usbstick to /lib/firmware), and the hard drive. :-)
Now the only problem left to solve is to get a kernel form
lenny_backports installed, so that the installed system will actually
find it's root file system.
Anyway, the problem of creating an iso is solved, sorry about the noise.
