Thanks.  It seem to be two copies of the base debs.

Did you find out why?  And how to get rid of it?  I thought
debootstrap used the debs directly, and had no need for the old base
floppies.  I know I don't want to spend 50 MB on my CD on two
redundant copies of the base packages. :-)

  .../CD1/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/base-images-20020127
  26M     basedebs.tar
  26M     images-1.44/
  1.5M    images-1.44/base-01.bin

  1.5M    images-1.44/base-18.bin
  196k    images-1.44/base-19.bin

And why isn't basedebs.tar compressed?  A 'gzip -9' would save 4 MB on
the CD.

Anyone know more?
