How are base disks created?

["Linux dist. research" <diogenes@xig.com>]

Greetings,

I'm trying to figure out how to create the installation diskettes (or
images really) for Debian Linux and was wondering if I could get some
help or even pointers to help.

My question is, in what format is the data on the base disks?  It didn't
appear to be a file system, a gzipped file system, or a compressed file
system. 


Thanks in advance.
