you are not supposed to put all kernel modules onto the floppy -- just
enough to get you going a little bit more.  (so, network modules will
not be on the cdrom install disk and vice versa.)

|   Right. What kind of skills are required (apart from c programming)?

Documentation is always nice.  Most stuff is done using debconf, so
shell programming skills are also useful.  Making the whole thing
build all the time, auto-builds coupled with cd images.  I'm sure
there are tasks which may suit you. :)
