A developing line can be that: moving modules not related to connectivity
to general modules floppy #2 (EXT). I think sound, fax, etc.
On floppy #1 only file-system module and popular eth module.
If with "DIAG tools" you mean trafshow, traceroute, nc, sniffit, etc
this still remains on the base floppy! My problems are modules!
I'm going to modify "setup" script, implementing a multi-floppy modules
database (managed by /etc/modules.conf)

I want what you want! Furthmore, I would like to mount an NT partition
and an Iomega Zip, if necessary, with a little overload: put another
little floppy in my trouser pockets and go!
