A little bit of googling found me a few stuffit*.sit files, but it seems
they are not executable on a mac. However this site still seems to have
stuffit in sea format, as well as a few others:
http://www.umich.edu/~archive/mac/util/compression/00index.txt
When I installed my mac, I think I used this website and fixed my disk a few
times by hooking it up to a PC and running an emulator. Might be useful,
since it has a diskimage (for the emulator) with stuffit on it:
http://www.kearney.net/~mhoffman/basiliskII/system753_tutorial/linux/
Other important pages are of course http://www.jagshouse.com/PeeCee.html and
http://lowendmac.com/
Guess I should start with a sarge FAQ and add a few more links.

If all that does not help, maybe you can try this:
http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/misc/Penguins.sea
Should be selfextracting and contains the three latest Penguin versions.
Please tell me if it works, I spent a few hours on this already...
I am not sure if we can include that on a CD, since I used a non-free
program to create that archive.

That README was probably written for i386. If you have suggestions how to
improve the readme, send it to this list, it might still be included in
sarge.
