I updated it a little, FIXMES are gone, put in some of Russels changes.
 www.debian.org/~cts/debian-mac-4.txt

I intend to check that in today.

I also put m68k-quickinstall.tgz there which is a zeroth version of the sgml
version. I am still experimenting with sgml, the file layout will change
significantly, same for the contents (which far from being complete). But
maybe somebody wants to have a look at sgml magic? Its really not that
difficult, only it seems to be impossible to do certain things, ie the
changelog layout in the current amiga-txt.
You need make, sgml-tools (v1) and mayeb some more to use it. After
unpacking first do "make setup", then make, or make amiga|atari|mac|vme or
make txt or make html, well, you can read the Makefile.
If anybody can propose something better than sgml-tools v1, ie sgml-tools v2
and instructions on how to use it easily, that would be great. I did not
find out how to do that "conditional compiling" with v2, thats the most
important part and it works quite easily with v1, allthough it has some
severe drawbacks.
Well, whoever has too much time, play with it (and maybe jump directly to
the main installation docs to fill the m68k gaps there).
But don't spend time on improving it, I might change everything completely
when I know more about sgml...
