Chris has posted a short summary of things to be done for the /install
section of the first CD image. He's not posted a script to do all this
(probably got trashed with his filesystem).
If Steve could make the m68k images, I'd be happy to forward that list,
and try to write a script that brings the Mac booter and preferences files
in a format suitable for mkhybrid.
At the _very_ least, we'll need the plain CD images without the /install
tree (everything is in disks-m68k already, just not unpacked and ready to
boot), using mkhybrid (the version from potato; the slink version seems to
have a problem according to Chris).
