    Before I created this mess, I was running the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel.
    I tried the rescue.bin and root.bin floppies from the Debian site
    but I was not able to boot w/ them. I was able to boot w/ the 2.2.
    20-compact floppies however.

    Now, using 2.2.20-compact, I cannot get the Netgear FA311 NIC working
    and the tulip module will not load. I still have the /lib/modules/2.
    4.18-bf2.4 directory intact.

    Considering I can boot on that machine w/ the 2.2.20-compact kernel,
    and the only way I can get code onto it is via floppy at this point
    (unless I can get tulip to load which is dismal), and I have an intact
    /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4 dir, can I get only the files:

    boot/System.map-2.4.18-bf2.4
    boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4
    boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4

    from the package, save them to floppy individually, put them on the
    other machine, change lilo.conf to reflect the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel,
    run lilo and reboot to the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel? If so, how can I
    get only the three files from the package I wish?
