Uhhhh, those basedebs are for PowerPC, which will likely not work on his
laptop :)

The way to generate basedebs.tgz is by using "debootstrap", like:

cd /tmp
mkdir woody
debootstrap --download-only woody woody http://http.us.debian.org
cd woody
tar czvf basedebs.tgz var

debootstrap is a shell script that should run on RedHat; you can get it
from: http://packages.debian.org/debootstrap

Good luck!
