Actually, the directory is irrelevant -- I made only a 10 MB HFS
partition for the System Folder, Penguin, some kernels, and a RAM disk, so
I used a separate volume (a 230 MO drive, in fact) for the Debian disk
images.

Can you remind us where to get this mysterious file base2_0.tgz? I
haven't seen it at ftp.debian.org, and the URL that was posted here before
doesn't seem to be documented anywhere I can think to look.

Ahh, that makes life a little easier -- previously we had to run a shell
and mount the partition manually. Thanks.

Really? What's the problem? Maybe it would be worth it to run a Mac
FTP server (unless of course you have a direct Internet connection for this
machine), or move the files to an ext2 partition.

The latest dpkg-ftp requires (pre-depends on) perl. I suppose that
perl-base will satisfy that requirement.
