Some of the authors of the software we have packages have asked for
a free copy of the CD in return for them letting us put it on the CD,
or just out of gratitude. What's our policy on this? I assume if they
did it would be Bruce's or the FSF's CD?

Thats the problem :) sorta. I don't know why it all of a sudden started

Package: base (???)
It should be possible to specify options in /etc/modules.
Example for my Mitsumi-Drive:
mcdx mcdx=0x300,11
which sould call "modprobe" with the command-line
"modprobe mcdx mcdx=0x300,11".
BTW, the loop

for module in $modules

I will eventually fix the root disk to use syslinux when it creates the
boot floppies. In the meantime, here's a work-around:
Look at the files in /usr/lib/syslinux (install the "syslinux" package
if you don't have them) and use them to create a boot floppy, or use LILO

Ian,
Of course, your problem was with the loadable kernel module...
so much for "think first, post later..."

OK. I'll put a README file in the Debian directory and in /usr/src/linux.
I expect some small degree of sophistication of anyone who uses the source
package and the boot-floppies package (which also builds itself).
