     There is a README for autoup.sh on
{ftp|http}://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/.

     Both the README and autoup.sh should have a separate (simplified)
version for use on the CD.  (For instance, the script doesn't have to
be interactive on the CD.)  The CD versions will be quick and easy to
write, but can't be written until we know exactly where on the disk
autoup.sh is located, and path to the hamm files.

     If Igor wanted to incorporate the autoup.sh README in
install.txt, that would eliminate the need to include it as a separate
file on the CD
