The prep build is possible if you snatch kernel-source-2.2.20 manually
from the archive (and dump it in /archive/deign/download/var/cache/apt/archives)

Someone please update the bloody readme then. That's the same versions I
got so there's no need to rebuild everything again.

It builds prep disks by building a few kernels from source. It rebuilds
the newpmac target every time no matter what. It's broken as usual.

We should get Dan to install everything necessary for boot-floppies builds
in voltaire's chroot (and get boot-floppies to build without sudo
requirements ...). That way, even the boot-floppies people themselves can
build it.
New files for testing on people.d.o/~schmitz/3.0.24-2003-01-03/ - no build
errors this time so they ought to be fine.
