I'm not installing. I have no desire to 'install' debian in the
traditional sense. I need to NFS-Root boot embedded targets into a
shell-like environment.
Debian's base*.tar is the *only* solution I know of for this that supports
the variety of platforms I am interested in, I know other people do the
same thing. This would be a very unfortunate loss to the people doing
embedded work with linux.
