great, can you do that ?
i believe :
a) autoup.sh must be on the cdrom
b) it must be as simple and secure as possible
c) it should go on ftp.debian.org, so people burning cdroms can get all data
from one source. (.../hamm/hamm/update-i386/autoup would be ok.)

i guess a toplevel document like /upgrade.{txt/html} is ok, and also
a toplevel dir /upgrade (both on the binary i386 cdrom - autoup isn't used on
other plattforms ?).

please do.
i want to work a bit on the makefile and improve it, but i have no time to
update all the documentation.
