I've got a problem:

1) when I boot up with tomsrtbt the modules that are needed by my pcmcia cards are loaded but not with the whole 3 slackware boot/root disks.

So, when I try to install, I cant because I can't get on my network....

If someone could tell me how I could copy the modules that toms uses onto a blank floppy then insmod them from there I'd be greatly indebted.

I've got the modules that I need loaded... but some are not used, actually all are except i82365. I don't know why the other ones are not being used... they are all the same modules that tom loaded </edit>

I would even be grateful if someone could reccomend a minimal-ized and fast linux distro that can be installed over ftp. I don't even want X, GCC is my only requisite.
