What do you mean by "If you're using [LILO|GRUB]"? On my host system
which is not Debian? There's no image file there because my host system
(which is Slackware based, but also highly modified) does not need it
at production run time. And using the Slackware installer file tree
just isn't the same thing.
What I want is the files that go into making the CD ISO used to boot
an install environment (supposedly a subset of a real Debian system
with perhaps a few special tools). The files that result from doing
this via floppy might also be suitable (maybe they are the same and
maybe they are different).
