Both. I'm preparing a 2.2r3 version of the stable boot-floppies (the
head) and also working on the woody version (the 'woody' branch).

That would be nice. :)

The woody boot-floppies already download stuff as needed via apt-get.
No need to have a mirror at all.

No, it needs to be glibc-pic, which is (at least for all arches I have
easy access to) provided by libc6-pic. We can't just use the
libc6-pic dependancy because on that fun and wacky port, alpha, it's
called libc6.1-pic .
I guess I coudl change the control file stuff to use different deps
for different arches but I haven't looked into that. Patches welcome
as always.
