It would be on the potato CDs as well. So people with a CD do not have to
have a slink CD as well or download Penguin-17.

Only the hqx. People have to unhqx it, as described in the docs (I hope).
Btw, did you look at the boot-floppies code recently? I wondered why all the
HFS magic is still there, AFAICS the HFS image is not used at all anymore.
Maybe time to drop that code? Or maybe comment it out? Might confuse future
maintainers...
I got no comment on the new debian-mac-4.txt, so I will check that in now.
I declare the quickinstall guides closed then. Time to merge things into the
main docs. I would really appreciate if some users would help with this,
since this is the one and only official debian documentation.
Please have a look at disk-m68k/doc/install.en.* (* == txt preferable for
diffs I guess) or at:
http://www.debian.org/releases/2.2/m68k/install
