Firs thing to do is get install packages cvs and debiandoc-sgml. Then
'checkout' the boot-floppies, instructions for that are at
cvs.debian.org/boot-floppies/README-CVS
Also important is
cvs.debian.org/boot-floppies/documentation/README-authors
I'll let someone else speak up re: messages.

documentation directory.
