Go to:
http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/mirrors/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i3
86/current/images-1.44/compact
and get the root.bin and rescue.bin files. The rescue.bin file is
a bootable disk. Once it loads the kernel, it will ask you for the
root.bin disk, which is the root filesystem.

Are you looking for source deb files? You put a deb-src line in your
sources.list and:
apt-get source _some_package_name?
Anyone back me up on this one?
