floppies and such

[Sean Roe]

Hi All,

I am having such a brain cramp, I am installing debian on a new box with a 
linksys gigabit card, which uses the realtek 8169 chipset.  Of course the 
debian installer doesn't have the drivers for it, so I went and found them 
and compiled them (it?) and went to put it on a floppy but I am not sure 
what format to put it on.  I tried the a standard winblows format and a 
fdformat with ext3 and cp'd the file over to the drive but the new box 
can't seem to find the driver r8169.o  Any ideas?
