I could not locate the "basedebs.tar".  Could you give me a
pointer? 

I found "rescue.bin" in the images-2880 area.  Renamed it to
resc2880.bin.

There wasn't a corresponding "drivers.tgz" in the same area.  I'm
assuming the "drivers.tgz" file in 
"/~blade/boot-floppies/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current" is generic?

Wouldn't it be possible to just put the "rescue.bin" file in the
/install dir of the binary CD-1 unpacked image tree.  Make a new iso
image and burn it?  If so where would the "drivers.tgz" go?
