	i have just tested the script on both 2.2.1-RELEASE and
	2.1.0-RELEASE.  no problems.  i had to work a little ot
	get all the utilities on the floppy, your kernel may be
	too large.

	2.2.1-RELEASE:	683695 byte kernel
	2.1.0-RELEASE:	603405 byte kernel

	how big is your MINI kernel...it needs to be as small
	as possible.
