Adding Modules to install

[Tobias Speckbacher]

Copied and pasted from the Kickstart-list.
Although it does not 100% match your case it describes the methodology
of adding drivers to the boot image.

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...

Subject: Adding Modules to install

Is there a HOWTO or documentation for adding modules to the BOOT CD
kernel?  I want to add an e1000 driver to make a rescue disk that will
allow me to access any 'broken' machine over the WAN network.  I can't
find much about how to make an .img file and Intel, nor Redhat, that I
can find has one.
