OK, it's installed as <root>/README.1ST on each disk, looking something
like
...
This Debian installation CD was created by slink_cd version 1.06 on
19990211
It is labelled
Debian GNU/Linux slink (2.1) 1/5 main binary section 1 SAM19990211
README for Debian 2.1 CD installation.

OK, I misunderstood you. But I get the point now - it's in slink_cd 1.06.

OK, cool. I think all is just about ready for 1.06 tonight. Just need boot
disks and stuff for all the arches now...
Here's all the changes to date:
slink-cd (1.06) unstable; urgency=low
* slink_cd changes:
* handle non-US links better
* Copy Release Notes onto all CDs
* Create README.1ST - lists slink_cd version, creation date, disk label
(from .disk/info) and gives simple instructions on what to do to run
the installation system.
* Copy the full set of files for the installation manual to /install.
* Add sym-links for the installation manual into /doc.
* Added hfs.map stuff for Apple people.
* Added $MKISOFS_OPTS_DISC<n> support, makes life easier for special
mkhybrid requirements for different arches.
* others:
* Changed the default volid for each disk to be
"Debian-ARCH 2.1 Disc <n>"
* Created README.1ST.i386 - template for README.1ST above.
* Removed test genlinks option from arch.
* Added hfs.map for Apple people
* Added mkisofsrc to packaging.
