ok, i went with anonymous cvs. downloaded boot-floppies. stopped.
i have some question to ask you:
*) i can't read sgml documentation. i haven't ever used sgml tools,
so i installed debiandoc-sgml packages, but debiandoc2html
doesn't do what i thought.
*) part of the debian archive is required in order to make
floppies. well, which part? i've a dialup workstation, i
can't download all the unstable tree. see my output at 2*
*) from within boot-floppies i try to run ./debian/rules but it
spreads out that (i added some number for reference on the left):
[dom@grullo ~]$ cd boot-floppies/
[dom@grullo ~/boot-floppies]$ ./debian/rules
test -f rootdisk.sh -a -f debian/rules
make release
1* find: ../../Incoming/: No such file or directory
2* find: /archive/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386: No such file or directory

make utils
1* find: ../../Incoming/: No such file or directory
2* find: /archive/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386: No such file or directory

gen-header C.mo
3* make[4]: gen-header: Command not found

make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies/utilities/dbootstrap'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies'
make: *** [build] Error 2
[dom@grullo ~/boot-floppies]$
it seems expecting to be extracted in a particular filesistem with other
expected directories.
*) what is gen-header? where i can find it?
sorry if these question could be solved reading sgml doc, but as i told,
i couldn't manage to translate it in some common format.
meanwhile i'm downloading boot images, so i can dissect installation disks.
any help is *very* appreciated :))
ciao
