You should probably add a link to Tollef's "getting started" page:

Don't bet too much money on that the existing concept will survive, I
think parts of it needs a redesign to better support netinst CDs.
There's also the problem of fitting "everything" even on a 2.88M boot
image. For example, both fitting brltty and bogl-bterm and fb-modules
and the newt frontend on the cdrom 2.88M image won't work. How do we
want to handle this?
