You can get the package slink-cd from the archive and with a current mirror you can build your own cds. If you want to make your own cds from potato have a look at the ongoing efforts in [email protected] (see mailinglist archives) If you only want to have a cd, which you can use to install the base system (i.e. the system you get after installing the base floppy discs), you have to have a look at slink-cd, which steps it performs so that the boot-floppies are installed into a directory tree correctly. Make sure the "base.tar.gz" is in the tree, too and burn this tree to a cd. HTH, Jens P.S.: Please vote against Spam!
