usb keys work fine as driver disks on centos-5, the .dd image can be loop mounted and the contents copied out onto the root of a usb-key.

also, its not 'linuxdd' its 'linux dd'

You can also give dd the remote network location for the driver disk, eg dd=http://foo/bar.dd.img : Does not work well, if its the network interface you need the dd for :D

thanks, gonna try both methods tomorrow. So, that .dd floppy image is not meant to be offered as a file source via that manual driver install option? What kind of file does that option want, an rpm? (HP has rpms, too). A .ko?
