Hi,
I'm having a little trouble with the boot-floppies dpkg-checkbuilddeps:
dpkg-buildpackage: build architecture is m68k
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: zlib-bin, dosfstools, linuxdoc-tools,

That is a good point. The suggestion of dynmically using the busybox help
probably doesn't treat transloations very well, unless busybox wants translated
help.

That would work, but I used tabs to make two columns; using the editor lets
me choose how much space for a tab so it's more readable and also gives the
