You're right of course.  The network route is the correct way to go in
many cases.

My way is still kind of useful if you need a network driver disk and
so you can't get it over the network...  Etc.  I have a bunch of
configs like that so I eventually end up patching anaconda for each
new redhat release.

Plus the subject was about putting the drivers in the initrd and I was
trying to spread some anaconda-recompiling-joy.  ;P
