Lack of NTFS support with floppy inst...

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to get a floppy install disk set with HPFS/NTFS file support? I have the whole slack10 distro on my NTFS partition but it has to have NTFS support for when I boot my floppy setup and try to use that partition for my source location.

Any help would be greately appreciated.

Can't you burn the files to a CD? Much easier. It dosn't have to bebbotable r even from the ISO's, as long as it has a 'slackware' folder with /a, /ap, /d ,etc folders inside.

yeah I know about putting the install dirs on a CD, just dont have any. I dont see why there isnt NTFS support on the floppies in the first place, I know there is std FAT16 etc, I just dont have a partition for that.
