So anyway, I'm adding this atm, somewhat modified. You'll need
a tarball (.tar or .tgz) that contains ./var/lib/atp/lists and
./var/cache/apt/archives instead. Syntax should be something like:
debootstrap --boot-floppies \
--unpack-tarball "/mnt/debian/basedebs.tgz" \
woody /target null:
Alternately (particularly for floppy installs with very limited disk
space, IMO), you should be able to just untar the .tgz straight into
/target, and call debootstrap as:
debootstrap --boot-floppies woody /target null:
