I did it once, cause I didn't know that I could use the Atari root.bin
then (it was before common was there) I used the watchtower stuff to
get a root.bin system running. It didn't work right away and I had a
problem with the init scripts from watchtower beeing incompatible with
debian. Its not easy to do, but its possible. Of cause using dinstall
is much easier and the prefered way.
May the Source be with you.
