Kickstart using USB Flash Drive

[Rebecca.R.Hepper at seagate.com]

Unfortunately, I need more modules than will fit in the bootdisk.img file.
I didn't try your exact steps, Jason, but I have my own set of instructions
that are quite similar.  If I copy in all the modules I need, I fail in the
last step when moving the initrd.img back to the bootdisk.  Is there a way
to increase whatever limits the size in this step?

I posted some instructions a while back on how to move drivers from the
drivenet.img into the bootnet.img, they predated RH 9, but the process
hasn't changed that much...
