I need to add this module to the Debian installer:
http://packages.debian.org/nl/lenny/reiserfs-modules-2.6.26-2-486-di (http://packages.debian.org/nl/lenny/reiserfs-modules-2.6.26-2-486-di)
I'm using the netinstall.
But I have no idea on how to do such a thing. Does anyone here have an idea?
Yes, I am fully aware that reiserfs is old, and that the guy shot his wife, and is currently being raped in a state prison.

I've not ran the netinstall for a while but I believe there is a way to add custom kernels.
You might just be able to extract this package (if it matches the installers kernel) as a tarball and copy the module manually into /lib/modules/2.6.26-2/kernel/drivers/fs and do a modprobe reiserfs. That is a bit hackish though, but is all I can think of because debian is so damn reliable any system I put it on never ever needs a reinstall.
While I am here I might point out that I think sqeeze isn't unstable enough to warrant using lenny and its outdated packages. I've been using squeeze for a while now with no major problems. It soon will be the stable release.
If you DO use lenny you will want to use www.backports.org (http://www.backports.org) to get the latest firefox, openoffice, and so on.
