Methinks you useda buggy browser, some versions of netscape and mozilla
are known to ungzip the file when the download occurs. This is not a bug
on th

produced the exact same result as basedebs.tgz).
Using the basedebs.tgz resulted in the installer complaining that gunzip
failed. I gzipped the file and everything worked.

debootstrap probably breaks because the file is called .tgz but is
actually a tar archive.

Hi,
it seems the current m68k basedebs.tgz (as found at)
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-m68k/base-images-current/
is a plain tar archive, uncompressed. (Previously, it was gzip compressed,
at least the copy I have from around April last year).

It sounds a like this script is in the same situation as rawrite. I'd
say it should be included in the same location as rawrite, i.e.
debian/tools/

I understand there is a capability provided to use a basedebs.tgz
file to install base from the hard disk in lieu of a network
install. This was particularly needed for those who connect via a
