-  * kernels might not fit on 1.44mb floppies anymore, but a config which fits
-    is there
+  * as floppies are really rare nowadays, the kernel size is not optimized for 
+    1.44mb size anymore. Use http://rom-o-matic.net/ to generate a etherboot 
+    floppy for netbooting or copy 2.88mb floppy image to a CD. 
+ 
+  * Alternativly you can rebuild fai-kernels with a config from 
+    /usr/share/doc/fai-kernels/config-2.6.18.144mb-floppy - the kernel from
+    this configuration still fits on 1.44mb floppies. You might need to add
+    needed drivers to the config and then remove unneeded ones (network card
+    drivers from cards you don't have are good candidates). Instructions howto 
+    rebuild the package can be found in the README.
