Thats right - it isn't strictly speaking part of the install software,
although it is a common need so perhaps should be documented (I think
the new installer in beta provides official support for this).
if you press ALT+Fn (n being 2 or more) during the installation process
you get a terminal. There is a small set of unix tools available here to
do stuff in the background. You could mount a cdrom/floppy with the .o
on from this window, and modprobe it into the installer's kernel.
