All we would need is the unpacked rescue floppy contents in /install-m68k/atari
(or /install-m68k/amiga or ../mac) - can you start the install off an ISO
filesystem or would we need additional tracks on the CD for each machine?
As soon as I got my hands on the Atari rescue floppy (*nudge*), I can make the
LHA archive so people could at least unpack that to harddisk. Phil offered to
put some goodies outside the Debian archive hierarchy if it's impossible to
add new stuff to the boot floppies directories in stable.
